Oxfordshire / Newspapers in Cowley St John
« on: Tuesday 01 November 11 14:27 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find out more information on my wife's Great Grandfather William Thomas Hunt who had lived most of his adult life at 21 Percy Street, Cowley St John.

When he died in 1932 he was a retired Letterpress Pressman which sounds as if he was working in some sort of publishing house.

Is there a present day local paper in Cowley St John that I could contact?
