Hi Tiddy
Seems this is your William REEVES, this next article in the Gale collections says he is from Cowley Road.
Jackson's Oxford Journal (Oxford, England), Saturday, August 22, 1885; Issue 6909. (1811 words)
DEATH of Mr. Reeves - We regret to announce the death, after a brief illness, of Mr. William Reeves, editor of the Oxford Chronicle, which took place on Monday last, at his residence, No. 6, Clifton Villas, Cowley-Road.
The deceased had been connected with the Chronicle over thirty years, having been appointed reporter in the year 1854, a position he filled for twenty years, and on the death of Mr. Cooke, the original proprietor, Mr. Reeves succeeded to the editorship, a post which he faithfully discharged up to the time of his declining health some few months since. Mr. Reeves, who was greatly respected leaves behind him a family of six children and a numerous circle of friends to lament their loss.
