Hello to all,
I am looking at finding any history on my great grandparents or anything on my family history. My grandmother came from Bidford on Avon after World War II after she married my grandfather who was in the US Army. I know my Great Grandfather owned a pub and a butchers shop (I think) ??? in Bidford. Any history or any help on finding out more information on my family history would be wonderful. Thanks for any help in advance!!! :)

Although relationship of John Gould is Son-in-law he is unmarried so he could be Mary's son.
Will look at 1871 to see if that reveals anything.

Hi,
I might be a few years too late, but the above link might be of interest to you about John Gould's Butchers Shop in High Street, Bidford on Avon. Pages 16 & 17 have photos. It was taken over by George Winnett and then from whom my grandfather Charles Hunt bought it in 1931. He and then my dad Rowland Hunt ran the butchers shop until it closed in 1970. Hoping this is still of interest to you.
Regards
John Hunt
