old Kiddlington pub

[DJFRENCH]

in 1881 i have found your Eliz and thomas 42 years old as canal lab.

Is this the wrong couple...?

[DJFRENCH]

I've just read yr post. if it was the banbury rd it must be the other side of Kidlington to Oxford so ...i'll be back !

[DJFRENCH]

I thought for a minute that he may have worked by the canal at the bridge outside Kidlington on the way to Banbury
there was a railway there and a hotel but i can't see a pub.......it's further out that i thought.....

Found it  , it is near Thrupp, outside Kidlington . opposite the turning to Thrupp off the A4260 now.


Hmm i am confused coz i cannot find him as an innkeeper on the 1881 census.. would love to find out

Thanks Trees

Thrupp sounds good as Thomas was originally from Hampton Poyle His aunt kept the Bell HP and his Grandfather before her so that fits rather nicely many thanks. Do you know if its still there ?

[DJFRENCH]

Hi Trees, i think the pub may still be there ....it's called the Jolly Boatman..it's in the same location
