I posted your query on the FB Brackley Memories site, very helpful.  If you look at Right Angles website (Art shop in Brackley) you will see a photo of the Flying Horse pub in 1870.  It is on the right hand side of the picture with a sign over.  It was in old part of Brackley on the main road opposite what is now the Chip Shop.  HTH

Dumfriesshire / Looking for a marriage !!
« on: Saturday 09 January 16 20:51 GMT (UK)  »
Searching for a marriage of Katharine McKay Ramage to James Taylor, more than likely in Sanquhar or Wanlockhead circa early 1800's, first child born we think, about 1813, a boy William Taylor m Margaret McLeod.   Any assistance with this Taylor family would be much appreciated from Scottish records - searched Ancestry and no marriage suitable found !  TIA

Hi All, Interested to learn if anyone has got any family connections to this couple - they were married in 1906 Salford Manchester, had following children:
Agnes Taylor   B: 1905
Mary Taylor   B: 1907
William Taylor   B: 1911
Albert Taylor   B: 1913
Alexander Taylor   B: 1917
Margaret 'Peggy' Taylor   B: 1920
Mona Taylor   B: 1923
Lillian Taylor   B: 1923

Mona Taylor is my link (Mother)  Found the family in 1911 would like to know where William Taylor was between 1913 and 1917,  seems a bit of an 'obvious gap between children Albert and Alex,  did he go to War' -  can't find any records for him in Service/Pension etc.  Might have gone back to Scotland, maybe to enlist etc.  If anyone can shed any light I would be most grateful ... (faobo) TIA Andy Cooper, (Buckingham).
