old Kiddlington pub

[Trees]

Wow Clemo I had Henry and Anstis as Elisabeth's parents and her marriage to John WATTS but no idea that they were publicans so that makes a lot of sense. Can you give me the title author and date of the book so I can reference the occupation from it please I haven't got their marriage details( got them from the Baptisms of their children but I have 9 children not 8 will get Tuan Iban to check that for me he has a copy of Kidlington PRs I also have 10 children for John and Elizabeth WATTS  not 9 Ah well I think its basically correct at least every one is married to the right partner 
Many Many thanks your  help is much appreciated. Now I need a copyrite free photograph of The Wise to add a bit of interest to the page

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.

There is no hurry for the photo but that would put the icing on the cake. I really am enjoying this pub crawl.

Oh Dear I've just found another one!!!
Elizabeth ELLARD widow of Thomas ELLARD was Inn Keeper of The Three Horse Shoes Banbury Rd Kidlington in 1881 any ideas about this one?

Getting boozier by the minute!

Hi 'Trees'
Thought you might like to know I have some interest in the 3 Horse Shoes, Thrupp too.
There was William and Ann Hambridge, who are in a photo you may have seen of the Inn in the Kidlington books quoted here.
They were the previous landlords to the Ellards I think, and were there afterwards too, until it closed following Williams death.
I think you are wrong about the 1881 census, as Ann Hambridge is shown as Inn Keepers wife, Three Horse Shoes, Thrupp. William was on his boat.

I also happen to know the current owner of the property! He's aware of it's history and has a copy of the William and Ann Hambridge picture

Cheers
Neil

I'll take a look, I presume you mean the link in your signature - just tried it and it's not loading.

Forgot to say, I came here and stumbled across your post, whilst looking for reference to the Britannia which is now the Jolly Boatman, just up the road towards Kidlington.

Would anyone know when it changed names, or any history of it? I was contacted by someone who's family ran it.
I made mention of it whilst posting elsewhere about the Three Horse Shoes, as they were both on an old map of Thrupp I have seen at www.old-maps.co.uk

Strange I just checked and it seemed OK click on my name that takes you to my profile there you see web site and in blue My Ancestors Click on the blue words Once on the site you need Occupations-publicans-Oxford publicans and hopefully you should find the three Horseshoes -enjoy brosing I've got several pubs in the area that were kept by the ancestors at one time or another.
The Kidlington history Society Book has the information about my Ellards all wrong though I have tried to tell them but they have not acknowledged my e mail such a shame I would have thought they would have liked to have the correct  information  as it is they have married James to his cousin's wife

Hi all

Sorry to revive an old thread but I have some more info you may be interested in.

The Wise Alderman has just undergone a name change and is now The Highwayman Hotel.

The (new) 'The Dog' which is now 'The Dogwood' - is named after the housing estate behind it - although the estate (Dogwood Green) was not built until the late 60's.

Hi ezsat welcome to rootschat.
I think the Dog wood is a different pub. My Dog is now a private house still called the Dog it was originally the Jesus House (it was originally a house set up by monks to give rest and refreshment to pilgrims) and at one time then the Dog and duck then the Dog and The dog and anchor. My ancestors kept the Anchor down by the river before the dog and I think they took the anchor with them this didn't catch on and it soon reverted to the dog. A second pub was opened and called the Dog then the Squire Bassett but this was on the oxford Road and much bigger.
Its interesting that the Wise Alderman has been renamed though. It was named in honour of Alderman Frank Wise who had been a signal man near the pub however before being the Wise it had been The railway and before that the Anchor   then kept by my ancestor Anstis Faulkner and passed to her son in law John Watts it was James's son john who moved from the Anchor to the Dog in School Rd.
