Newspapers

There are many references to Oakman in the “Belfast Newsletter Index” – mostly advertisements during the 1700s and very early 1800s, where Oakmans have advertised imports and exports, or been mentioned as witnesses or jurors in Court Lists, donors of rewards offered to informants, and even a few birth, death and marriage notices.

Articles relating to Oakman individuals, families or businesses are also found in other newspapers. As and when I come across these I add them to this page.
