I have recently discovered the Knight family of Broadoak/Newnham in my husband's family history. His gggrandmother was Louisa Ann Knight born 1860 Broadoak, Westbury on Severn. On her birth certificate her father, John Knight, is described as a public house keeper. I have discovered that a John Knight was landlord of The White Hart, Broadoak in 1856 and am trying to find out if this was one and the same John. Louisa's mother was Ann Taylor.
Any help or comments on this family or The White Hart would be very welcome.
Many thanks

The White Hart had a long association with the Stroud Brewery Company. It is possible that the beers were once transported by train from Wallbridge station in Stroud via the Severn Railway Bridge to Lydney Junction and then by road to Newnham. The annual rateable value of the White Hart Inn was £21.10s.0d. in 1891 and 1903, closing at 11 p.m. The White Hart was in the parish of Westbury on Severn despite being closer to Newnham. An early photograph of the pub shows a simple whitewashed brick built building. Over the years the White Hart has been enlarged and the garden backing onto the River Severn has an old boat mast erected on it. Map reference SO 699129.

Many thanks, Slowhands, for the three lots of information. I knew that Louisa's father died some time before her mother and the 1861 entry confirms that there was a substantial age difference between them. I will now investigate whether or not he had been married before.
With grateful thanks
