I knew of a few referenda run by the UK government on independence issues - The Falklands, Gibraltar and Scoltand - but thought I'd do a quick check for more... and turned all these up (people would have known about them at the time - but memory quickly fades, thank goodness for the internet!).
[from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referendums_in_the_United_Kingdom#List_of_other_major_referendums]
To this we must add:
2002 - Gibraltar - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibraltar_sovereignty_referendum,_2002
2013 - Falklands - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkland_Islands_sovereignty_referendum,_2013
So don't be fooled by the remainers - the UK has honoured every referendum in the past, if brexit is not completed it will be a massive change and betrayal of the British people by the established politicians.
