So Henry Ibbotson is at the Filesmith’s Arms by 1863, but tenure is still a bit shaky.
Hi Terry. Many thanks for all the info....have found Probate record that shows Henry (filesmith Arms) died 31 March 1897 followed by the 1901 which shows his wife Ann as licence Vitualler with son George as Barman which then link's with the death of George (filesmiths Arms) 1905.
Sorry to ask again...but know looking for this Henry Ibbotson on the 1851. According to this site Henry Ibbotson a farmer residing at Owlerton married Ann Stanley 4 May 1856 and his father was shown as Joseph Ibbotson, a farmer. Regards
