I am researching my deceased father's family. According to the 1891 census, his grandfather was the publican of the Blink Bonny pub. This seems to fit with my father's recollection of his father's family owning a pub and coming to attend his father's funeral in 1927 in a car! My grandfather's name was John Gill and I think his father's name was John Gill too. *
