The Belfast Morning News (from 1882 the Morning News and, for a brief period (1882–83) the Morning News and Examiner) was a daily newspaper in Ireland from 1855 until it merged with the Irish News in August 1892. It was published in Belfast.[1] It was owned by the family of Edmund Dwyer Gray and edited by P.J. Kelly.[2] The writer and advocate for workers' rights Robert Arthur Wilson[3] wrote for the paper under the pen name Barney McGlone.[4] Wilson edited the paper from 1874 until his death in 1875.[5] Digitised copies of the Belfast Morning News, dating back to 1857, are available to search and view at the British Newspaper Archive.[6]
