If the old theorem is something commonly seen in an undergraduate math class (with the old demonstration), then this might be appropriate as a "Note" in the American Mathematical Monthly.

What could happen if you submit it? They may publish it. The referee may give you a reference for it. They may respond in the same way as the Gazette.

What if the old theorem is not commonly seen in an undergraduate math course? When you write a textbook on that area of math, you can include your new proof. But if you think it unlikely you will write a textbook on this, then probably there is little prospect for publishing this. Maybe if you make it known to the experts* then some day one of them may include it in their new textbook.
