Im having trouble in finding my Gt Grandparents in the 1891 census.
His name is Robert Frederick Johnson, born in Shadwell, London appox 1861-2.
Her name is Ann (or Annie) Johnson same birth details.
I have found them in the 1901 census in RG13, piece 317, folio 9, page 10.
They were married in 1885 so should be together in 1891.
There should also be a daughter Annie who was 12 in 1901.
Many thanks

Hi Newf,
I have looked in FreeBMD, as for that date range I thought all the marriages had been listed.

THe book is called "A History of Banbury Road, Kidlington" published by the Kidlington & District Historical Society in 1991. The author is John Amor.
I am more than willing to take some photos of the pub as it is now for you.

The Kidlington book quotes:-
" The earliest record of public houses in Oxford is in a volume called the Victuallers Recognizances Record Book dated 1753. Although no house names are given, the name of Mrs Anstiss Faulkner is given as one of the landlords. Other records show that Anstiss married Henry Faulkner in the 1720's and they had 8 children, 5 of whom died in infancy. Henry died in 1733 and his wife and his wife Anstiss continued to run the Inn until she died in 1759.
In 1758 her youngest daughter, Elizabeth , married John Watts and they had 9 children, 6 boys and 3 girls. When Anstiss died the public house passed to John.
John Watts was landlord for 25 years. When he died in 1784, Elizabeth carried on for a further 9 years. On her death in 1793. one of her sons, James Watts took over the licence and continued until he died in 1814 aged 52 years."

The name changed from the Anchor in 1855 after the Railway station opened, when it became The Railway Hotel, the finally THe Wise Alderman in 1967.

Joan,
You have been terrific.
Many thanks indeed.
