To the person asking about Agnes Haining (not Hanning). Agnes was the second Wife of David Brackenridge. Agnes died in Gatehouse on 23/07/1895.
A stone memorial was paid for by her Family and is in Girthon cemetery.

Hi Mary,

I do not know what to say. How can I thank you?
It means everything to me and my Family to know where my Great great Grand Father and his family lived.

I should have been in Gatehouse of Fleet with my W

Many thanks for the information. I know that David's Son William (my direct decendent) was born in 1865. His Brother David may be the sporting person that you refer to. I am intested in him also and would be pleased to be made aware of anything that he did.
I assume that the 'fate' of the Crown &  Thistle was that it was demolished as I think only the Ship Inn remains in Fleet Street. I will be in Gatehouse of Fleet next month and I will do some searching.
To complete the picture, David's Son William left for Springburn in Glasgow. Sadly he had a leg amputated due to an accident whilst working as a Railway signalman. His Son David was a highly intelligent person (I am biased) who was the Father of my Mother Catherine. It would have been my Mother's 80th Birthday today.
I cannot thank you enough for helping me with the search.
Regards,
Colin.

Hello,

Did you manage to find out about your relative who was in Perth prison?

I also have a relative William Brackenridge who was in Perth prison in 1881 but I have been unable to find out why. I have used http://www.nas.gov.uk/onlineCatalogue/

Please can you advise of the source that you used so that I can do the same for William.

Regards,

Colin.

Thank you.

I have found out that the Crown and Thistle was there in 1837/8 and the Innkeeper was James Murray, but as yet I cannot find a trace of it (apart from the census) in 1871.

David Brackenridge was the Innkeeper that year. He married Agnes Hanning in 1872 if that helps.

Thanks again for your response.

Kind Regards,

Colin.

Has anyone heard of the Crown and Thistle Inn/pub in Gatehouse of Fleet?
It was in Fleet Street in 1871 as my Great, great great Grand Father was the Innkeeper.

Regards,

Colin.
