Oxford Journal lookup please - Rixon family
« on: Tuesday 12 August 14 06:38 BST (UK) »
Hello
Would someone please have access to Jackson's Oxford Journal of 16 April 1814 please.
I found my 6 x grandfather in the Oxford People Index 1800-2006 as having a deathnotice/obituary on this date.
His name is Robert Rixon from Aston Rowant.
Thanks

This is something you can do yourself - though newspaper browsing and searching can be addictive :-)

Join the National Library of Australia, www.nla.gov.au, and then the 19th Century British Library Newspapers collection is available to you in the Gale NewsVault.

Thanks for your help, I was able to login to the Oxford Journal via the Gale NewsVault, for free, online via the National Library of Australia. Lots of other British Newspapers on there too!
