Hindon - Local Newspaper
« on: Sunday 29 October 06 23:27 GMT (UK) »
Not sure if I should post this request on this board but here goes!

Can anyone tell me whether Hindon had a local newspaper back in 1971 and, if so, its name.

With many thanks.

I think this is the only "local" newspaper

Hi Brian

Thank you very much for answering my query.  I was grasping at straws on that one.  I had a relative who moved to Hindon in the 1930s but died in Newbridge Hospital, Salisbury in 1971.   On the death certificate 'usual address' is given as Newbridge Hospital, Salisbury.  A 'rootschatter' has already checked the Salisbury paper for me but couldn't see anything there so I was hoping to contact the local paper in Hindon to see if they had an obituary on my relative.

Thanks for your help.

Merry Christmas.
