The Arab Inn, Langley

kenneth,
1861 census reads
Richard Thornhill 56
Ann Thornhill 43
Henry Thornhill 13
Thomas Salisbury brother in law
These are part of my family -i have death certs, marriage cert for Henry Thornhill etc
They also owned cottages adjoining the pub. Henry became a butcher in Langley, and married Ruth Aram whose parents kept the Colliers Arms derby Rd Ilkeston. They had a son Frank, who in 1902 kept a beer of licence on Nelson St Heanor!!!!

Frank,
Which George married a Thornhill (do you have her name?)

1881 The Arab was kept by William King and his wife Emma Thornhill

The last landlord of the Arab was a Walker -my friend's Grandparents-she has the tankards from the Arab, with the name written on them-and did at one time have some of the pub tables from there.My grandfather used to frequent the pub in the 1920's.

Seems the pub was part of the Thornhill family for a long time.
