« on: Saturday 21 May 05 01:42 UTC (UK) »
I am looking for an article in a book
"In West Oxford, Historical Notes & Pictures concerning th parish of St Thomas the Martyr, Oxford"
1928, Thomas W Squires
Page 123, Abel Beesley, a famous champion punter
Abel Beesley, University Boatman

If any one has this book, I woul dealy love to have a scan of this article, I cannot afford the asking price of this book for a single article.  If someone can help I would greatly appreciate it

With thanks

Hi Susan

If you don't have any success on here, you could always try one of the local libraries who would probably mail you a copy of the article.

Hi Susan

I'm really sorry to hear about that dreadful attitude.  It's not exactly "rocket science" to work out how long it is going to take to look up 1 page in a book and photocopy or take notes from it  Huh  There are a lot of libraries who wouldn't charge or only require reimbursement of copying costs and postage - less than £1.

Perhaps somebody living nearby could pop into the library and get you a copy of the article  Huh

Good luck with your quest
