Title: Punter on the Isis River in Oxford
Post by: susanhill on Sunday 03 April 05 21:29 BST (UK)

I am looking for information on my gr grandfather who was a punter, he won several championships with an A Beesley, I believe
that A is for Abel Beesley.

I found this

Keep scrolling down and it mentions 2 Abel Beesleys championship university punters. You didn't give your relatives name so that is up to you to find. Good hunting.
