The Owl
The Owl was a weekly journal that included local news in the Bingham area of Nottinghamshire. I believe it was also a bit of a satirical journal. It would provide a lot of more colourful details of the people and the area. I believe it was published around the 1850s-1890s. It also went under the name of the Midland Jackdaw in the 1880s-1890s.

I read a reference to a section in this journal called "It's true that.." which referenced several of my ancestors living in Scarrington at the time. This sort of information is of special importance because it sheds light on who they were, what they got up to, what they were like - so much more that birth, baptism, marriage, and burial dates.
