Hi Sandie
Thanks very much for the information.  I will ring them and see what they have to say.  The only problem I can see is the date; 1840 was a long time ago.
Many, many thanks
Kind regards
Jan

Sorry, I knew when I posted my reply there was something wrong, but couldn't find my 'post it' with newspapers on and have been looking for it since I sent my message.  I've now found it and....the South London Observer didn't start up until 1874 but I have no date for South London Press.  There was another paper, Illustrated Mercury of South London, but again no date.  If you ring Southwark Local Studies Library, 020 7403 3507, I'm sure they'll be able to tell which titles were in print at the time, they're very helpful.

Hi Jan I was going to offer to look uo the death record for you as I visit the FH library on friday. I found the South London Press very helpful although they didn't find anything.

Hi Shirely/Sandie
Thank you both; Sandie for the offer to get the death certificate for me and you Shirley for the info on the library.  I will ring them to see if they can tell me anything.
Fancy your family living in Walliingford Shirley.  I live closer to Thame than Oxford.  I'm assuming you know the area which of course you may not.  Another branch of my family tree (my husband's side) hail from villages close to Abingdon which is just a bit further along the river from Wallingford.  It sure is a small world.
Again many thanks to both of you for your help
Kind regards
Jan

Hi Jan I know the area well, it's a gorgeous part of the world. My sister was in the Land army at the end of the war and married a Wallingford boy.

Happy hunting
