The Bell Inn, Long Hanborough

I have a long line of ancestors from the Jarrett and Maisey families who were born in Long Hanborough.

James Maisey, born in 1852, was originally a game keeper who became landlord of the Bell Inn in the late 1880s. He and his wife Mary Ann (my great-great aunt) had at least ten children. Among them was Frederick Thomas Maisey, who joined the Police Force and worked in Romford, where he met his wife.

After he retired, Frederick took over as landlord at the Bell Inn, which I believe they ran for several years, into the 1940s. They used to keep pigs in the back yard.

RE: RE: The Bell Inn, Long Hanborough

I have a connection with the Maisey family. Horace N Maisey married Edith Austin, my great-great-great-aunt I think(something like that). What has confused me is that during the 1891 census Mark,Maisey Horace's dad, was running a pub in Bladon with his wife Louisa Maisey (Price).
