    3. Neil - You said: > 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? Ken Wise at the Police Museum at Sulhamstead http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/aboutus/aboutus-museum.htm has been very helpful on this query, and dug out a book he barely knew he had! It's titled: "Borough of Banbury Licensed Victuallers" It lists the dates licensees took over, and any offences, but is not name indexed. He found the Old Wharf Inn. The first mention is of GARRETT, in December 1889 Then Edward GRANTHAM, 5 January 1891 with offences listed: 23 May 1892 selling a glass of beer to John BAKER during prohibited hours vis 12:30am - fined 10s with costs 14s or 14 days in prison Then Josiah CANVIN 5 August 1902 He is going to copy the page for you, Neil. (Let me have your address.) Wendy
