I am not related ,it’s a friend of mine,who comes through Arthur Holloway and Gertrude Fowler
Thankyou for all your help
Like it has been said we need a trip to The Dove Cote PH Laxton Nottinghamshire
From Olive Jean

Why don't you get in touch with the pub and ask if the current landlord knows its history?

NO mention of the Dovecot on 1891 census

You didn't answer the question about William's address when he married..........................

In 1891 the Dove Cote Inn is not named specifically.

Hello agian !

Laxton Nottinghamshire

I have tried to find the Census for 1891 and 1911 but no luck of The Dove Cote PH
But no luck
I wonder if you could look for me please sorry to keep asking you all
Thankyou

:-S :-S :-S

Olive Jean said that a descendant of Bertha Holloway had "mentioned Dovecote Public House Laxton".

That seems to be the only reason .

There is NO evidence online that he was ever at the pub you mention

Who or what gave you the idea that he was?

What was William's address on the 1888 marriage cert?

Hi
I just thought I would say what information I have on William Holloway etc
I have manage to find the Census which you have told me about
Dovecote Ph Laxton
Thankyou for all your help

I can’t post links so have nudged up a couple of Olive’s other Holloway threads.

The answer to what, please?

Hasn't ALL available information already been supplied?

Thankyou for your reply

I have the Census for 1891 for William Holloway 1843 Halesowen Worcestershire
Sarah Holloway. 1859 Laxton Nottinghamshire

Also the Marriage for them
The Parish Church Lexington Laxton 1888

William Holloway aged 44 Widower Publican Father Henry Holloway
Sarah Pinder Aged 28: Spinster Servant Father John Pinder

I have had a contact re Bertha Holloway born 1894 Laxton married Frederick Crossland 1896 born Retford
Thier relation through the generation has mentioned Dovecote Public House Laxton

Just to say a big Thankyou to you all re William Holloway 1843 a Publican ??
Waiting to hear the answer !!!

Although 1891 says that William was a publican, there's no suggestion that he had any connection to the Dove Cote Inn in particular.

That is the only census which says he was a publican.
In 1881 he was still a soldier., and living in Newark, not Laxton.
You said that the 1901 census said he was a publican - but he died in 1899.

Original gives address as The Dove Cote

Thomas is recorded as an Innkeeper and Farmer of 40 acres

There will be census entries for the people living at the pub on census night. But this will only tell you who is there then. If the landlord changes in between the census it will not show.

Have you checked out the pubwiki yet?

Thankyou for the 1881 census for Dovecote public house

Would there be census for Dovecote Public House
For 1891 , 1901 , 1911 please

Olive

Yes it was interesting.

Olive Jean now needs to look into where the estate records are held.. Possibilities are the estate itself, Nottinghamshire Reocrds Office ot the National Archives.

If she can't get her answer from the pubwiki then the estate records should.
