Looked through all the originals for Oadby on 1861 and although there are several pubs named on High Street there wasn't one named on New Lane. Directly following New Lane was 'Black Dog Lane' so as a long shot it could be there was a pub called the Black Dog, but it's no where near a reliable deduction.

thanks summer

The Black Dog Inn, Oadby. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jay7770/menu4.htm
It has a list of licensees but I can't see the Mann's on it.

I suspect that New Lane became New Street but you'd have to check back through old maps. The Black Dog has the address of London Road so it's not likely to be that, I don't think. Their death certificate would possibly tell you.
