If anyone happens to 'pop into' a library in Buckinghamshire and has some free time to look at any Buckingham & Winslow Advertiser newspapers (they're on microfilm at Buckingham library, 1853 to date) could you see if there are any reports of infectious diseases around 1888 (ish) in the area of Stewkley/Winslow/St Columb major. Or (and this would be really helpful) a report of the death of a child named Matthew (Walter?) Faulkner in 1888. That's all the information I have until I get his death certificate.

Hope you don't mind me asking. I can't get there myself. Thank you.
