old brackley Pub

[Trees]

Hi does anyone have any information about "THE Flying Horse Inn" High Street Brackley please?
I have found Sarah WAGSTAFF living there in 1861 and described as Victualler's Wife. Her husband George was with his parents in Aynho described as a Baker.
This is the only evidence i have of George ever being a publican

Hi Trees/Deb

I rang the Tourist Information Centre at Brackley to see if they knew where the
premises would have been as they are long gone. They did not.

The High Street runs for quite along way through the Town and it could
have been any of Inns, Beer houses.

I checked the 1874 Directory and no mention of the building although there
was a place called the Horse and Jockey, no street name though.

Hopefully someone may live in the area and be able to assist more.

Thanks Sandy I didn't think of the tourist Office  I'll remember that they can be a useful source of information. So its not still around that would explain why I'm not getting anything turn up on the net I think I'll ring the RO in Northampton. I can't think why I have only the one reference  and then George was only 25.

Hi Trees 

I Live very close to Brackley and would be very happy to research this query for you.

I do know there is no longer a pub of that name in Brackley  so I will start making enquiries.

Hi Fue thanks for the offer they are a bit of a mystery.
Any thing you can find would be great the Wagstaffs were very Young newly weds and couldn't have been at the pub long They married in 1856 and had a daughter in 1859 in Aynho
Then they seem to have a son in 1868 in Cirencester and  George has changed from a baker to a grocers porter all very strange I just wonder what their connection with the pub was
This is the only connection I can find on line;

Hi Trees

I guess that means that the lady from the Brackley History Group
wasn't able to help you then.

Hope Fue has better luck for you.
