I was working on the 100 yr rule but spotted on FamilySearch the birth registration of a Jaques Adolphe Henri Marie Gilmont, 28 Dec 1904 (born 26 Dec), rue de la loi 175 (?), son of Edouard Francois Adolph Ghislain Gilmont, doctueure en droit, born Chareleroi and Henriette Cathrine Marie Louise De Faun/Pauw(?) born Louvain.

Wondered if you'd picked up -
Wrexham Guardian ... & Flintshire Advertiser, 4 Sep1869

That's great,  I had Henry Hughes who died there, but wasn't sure if she married Thomas Jones. Mind you there was a Hughes stepson.
That confirms it.  Thanks.

I've only just got round to checking Welshnewspapers - and the Horse and Jockey is alive, well and referred to from the 1850s onwards eg. the birth of James and Jane Rogers' daughter there in Sep 1858.

Again, thanks or the post.

There's a great article in the Wrexham Advertiser, 1 Sep 1883, of a Temperance petition against renewing the licences of 17 drinking establishments in Wrexham (available on Welsh newspapers). Edward Humphrey's, Horse and Jockey, in particular singled out. In the end all were granted.

So, by 1883 the pub was being recognised as the Horse and Jockey.

Slater's Directory of N&S Wales etc. 1880 does not record a Horse and Jockey under "Taverns and Public Houses". However, under "Retailers of Beer" it lists -
Humphreys Edward, 32 Hope Street

The 1891 Census shows Harriet Edwards, widow, publican, at the Horse and Jockey, 32 Hope St.

Beerhouses could carry a name but this was often ignored when reporting or mapping.

Thanks for the post.

You're welcome.
Bit clearer about the story of the pub after spotting an item which described the Hope Street front end sometimes functioning as a private residence while the Priority Street back end operated as the "Colliers". Just great to see it surviving.

Intrigued to note that the Horse and Jockey, junction of Priory Street and Hope Street, is not marked on this 1872/81 Wrexham town plan while other hostelries further along the street are -
https://viewer.library.wales/4761895#?xywh=16051%2C1625%2C2367%2C1331&cv=8

This 1909 map shows a PH, unnamed, at the junction where the Horse and Jockey currently sits and others unnamed to the east.

Wonder why it didn't qualify to be listed on the town plan?
