Hi All In the OFHS transcription of Enstone burial there is an entry for the burial of a Fredericka TAPLIN age 2 Neat Enstone. The TAPLIN's did not appear to baptise their children in Enstone and in the GRO indexes the entry gives Frederick. Can anyone check the entry in the parish register please ? Mike in Droitwich OFHS 5345

Mike - Yes, I'm happy to do that - the relevant register is at the Oxfordshire History Centre. You're always welcome to contact OFHS with any queries about our transcriptions.

I'm at Oxfordshire History Centre. It's not wonderful writing, but the entry is of Frederick TAPLIN. I'll send you a photo of the entry, plus one from the opposite page where John SMITH died at his residence in Park Lane, London, to see another "k" in the vicar's hand. Wendy

Wendy/Hugh etc   Yes, I was wondering where I might see details of the license. To answer Hugh, the marriage record, from the Christchurch, Banbury Register is:   17 August 1901 at Christchurch  Alban ROOT, 35, bachelor, Butcher, 25 Castle Street, son of Jonathan (deceased), Butcher  Hannah Maria GRANTHAM (made her mark), 26, spinster, The Old Wharf Inn Bridge Street, daughter of Edward, Licensed Victualler.  Witnesses:  Fred. ROGERS & Mary Ann GRANTHAM   Seems to be a discrepancy in the street, yet I could have sworn it was Mill Lane where he had ran the Inn. The 1901 Census lists the Grantham family at 5 Mill Lane, Banbury, and Edwin is shown there as "Innkeeper (Publican)" His Death Certificate of 6th June 1902 states only "Mill Street, Banbury" !! Maybe the PR entry is wrong?   Thanks Neil   From: Wendy Archer <wharcher@cvd.co.uk> To: oxfordshire@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, 17 August 2011, 8:27 Subject: Re: [OXF] Licensed Victualler Neil - You asked: >> My Great Grandfather is listed at his daughters wedding in 1901, Banbury >> as a Licensed Victualler (The Old Wharf Inn, Mill Lane, Banbury) >> Are there any records at any of the various libraries where such things >> are listed? and Hugh replied: > The book "The Licensees of the Inns, Taverns and Beerhouses of Banbury, > Oxfordshire was published by Oxfordshire Family History Society, but sadly > is > now out of print - unless somebody knows where to find a copy. > > It lists Josiah Canvin as the licensee of the Old Wharf Inn from 1898 to > 1905.

Hi Neil Re Mill Lane / Bridge Street - this website http://deadpubs.co.uk/Oxfordshire/Oxfordshire1903Beer/Beer1903G.shtml shows a John GRANTHAM as a publican at Mill Lane Banbury in 1903 which seems to match the address in the 1901 census entry.

Hi Neil,   when the 1901 census wemnt on line it was possible to search a surnasme and see wehere they were living and where they were born in the second box I found most all of my maddox family that had left oxfordshire and moved to peckham this way it was such an easy way to find your relatives while the 1911 gives much more information it is not as good as the 1901 well thats my opinion.   mny many thanks  pete                     From: Neil Grantham <neil40@btinternet.com> To: "oxfordshire@rootsweb.com" <oxfordshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, 17 August 2011, 10:21 Subject: Re: [OXF] Licensed Victualler Wendy/Hugh etc   Yes, I was wondering where I might see details of the license.

Dear Neil, There is a very good local family history section upstairs in Banbury Library, Marlborough Rd, Banbury OX16 5DB. Many of my ancestors were publicans and I found it very useful. Good luck!

Eve, Refer to subsequent correspondance from various, especially Wendy There seems to be an error somewhere, as Wendy has unearthed some evidence from a Licensees archive that shows CANVIN wasn't proprietor until 1902   The marriage record states my Gt. Grandfather as a Licensed Victualler (no mention of retired), and the 1901 census lists the family at the Inn. My Gt. Grandfather died June 1902, so it looks like CANVIN took over in August 1902.   Neil From: "eve@varneys.org.uk" <eve@varneys.org.uk> To: Wendy Archer <wharcher@cvd.co.uk>; oxfordshire@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, 18 August 2011, 19:00 Subject: Re: [OXF] Licensed Victualler sked: > > >> My Great Grandfather is listed at his daughters wedding in 1901, Banbury > >> as a Licensed Victualler (The Old Wharf Inn, Mill Lane, Banbury) > > >> Are there any records at any of the various libraries where such things > >> are listed? > > and Hugh replied: > > > The book "The Licensees of the Inns, Taverns and Beerhouses of Banbury, > > Oxfordshire was published by Oxfordshire Family History Society, but sadly > > is > > now out of print - unless somebody knows where to find a copy. > > > > It lists Josiah Canvin as the licensee of the Old Wharf Inn from 1898 to > > 1905. > > Adding to what Hugh's said, listed as licensee before Josiah CANVIN is > Edward GRANTHAM, w Amy, boat proprietor, 1891-1898, which ties in with the > marriage in which you have an interest, I think.
