They were owned by Farmer Wylie who also owned the lime works and kilns here. In 1870 by agreement a siding was opened to allow mr Wylie to utilise the Wolverton/Newport Pagnell line to take coal in and lime out by these sidings. The lime kilns were situated alongside in the side of a cutting that ran from the railway to the canal. the sidings were later used by Goodmans scrap yard. My mother always said these cottages were on top of the dip known locally as aunt Mary's.jannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806896152316154316.post-80604214715315278552011-10-10T09:25:40.287+01:002011-10-10T09:25:40.287+01:00Like yourself I have had to rely on the censuses f...Like yourself I have had to rely on the censuses for my information. There are also entries in the Trade Directories for the 19th century. Sometimes the absence of records can tell you something. For example, the absence of court records regarding the Millwards and their longevity would tell you that they were successful pub landlords.Bryan Dunleavyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550652628913169630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806896152316154316.post-38366215135682021532011-10-10T00:50:32.838+01:002011-10-10T00:50:32.838+01:00My husband's great great grandfather was Danie...My husband's great great grandfather was Daniel Millward. We have census records indicating his time at the New Inn and the Railway Tavern, but no other records. Have you seen other records confirming the years of his tenancy at these two pubs?<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Tracy WellsTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04328118062272985453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806896152316154316.post-10296641860698753952010-09-01T19:54:38.776+01:002010-09-01T19:54:38.776+01:00Sometimes these census entries are a little diffic...Sometimes these census entries are a little difficult to figure out. There was no evidence of "New Inn Cottages" when I lived there 50 years later - which is not to say they never existed, but they might have been cottages closer to the Mill. Sometimes Census recorders gave them a name based upon their location, so Windmill Cottages in one year might be called New Inn Cottages a decade later.Bryan Dunleavyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550652628913169630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806896152316154316.post-79788516941811125632010-09-01T11:14:48.545+01:002010-09-01T11:14:48.545+01:00My grandfather Ernest Goss and his elder brother C...My grandfather Ernest Goss and his elder brother Charles Joseph Goss were both shown as "boarders" at 1 New Inn cottages in the 1901 census.Nigel Gossnoreply@blogger.com
