I would try going through old trade directories. They usually list public houses and give the name of the licencee. You should be able to see if the name changed over the years. You can search some at this website http://www.historicaldirectories.org./ But easiest way is probably in the local libary / archive. Find the local message board for that area on ROOTSWEB and ask there, you should pick up some local knowledge there. Public Houses tend to get photographed a lot so there are probably other old photographs of it - the local paper in my old town has 59 pictures of pubs (in Bolton) on their website. There are probably similar collections in your area somewhere. MB |

There is definitely something wrong with the 1891 census for Chesterfield. Carole, you mentioned there were 25 districts in 1901 and I have just looked in 1881, when there were 20. I can't believe there was a mass exodus in 1891 when there were only 14 districts!! Ggggrrrrrrr!! Merry |
