Newspapers for Souldern 1888

[The Tank]

The parish burial records for Souldern in the late 1880's are a mine of information for genealogists going far beyond the usual date - quite frightening given the number of infant mortalities from scarlet fever - and have uncovered a potential interesting story and I'm hoping someone local could point me in the direction of any newspaper stories of my 3x great grandfather.

James Lake was 69 when he died on 1st January 1888 with the additional entry as having died fatal leap from a train in motion which makes the mind boggle what the daft beggar was doing jumping from a train at nearly 70 years old!

I'd appreciate it if someone could identify local Bicester/North Oxfordshire newspapers that might have carried the story.

His wife Mary survived him by 12 years with her entry saying "died in the Communion of the Church" - must have been a riveting service! Whoever the vicar was at the time has certainly left an interesting legacy to investigate.

Cheers
