In some instances the name of the pub was not recorded by the census
enumerator. Sometimes the pub name could be "10 Market Square"
- so if you know the street, try searching for "Market Sq" in
either the "Name of Pub" or "Street" fields |
|
Your entries do not have to match exactly . Eg entering
"Lion" in the "Name of Pub" field will return pubs
containing the word "lion". Eg "Red Lion", "White Lion", "The Red
Lion", "The White Lion" etc |
|
If you are not sure of the Surname spelling select the "Soundex"
option. Eg. if you type "Davis", the search will look for
"Davis", "Davies", "Daveys", "Devis"
etc |
|
Abbreviations have been widely used by the enumerators. Eg. "The Three
Horseshoes" might be recorded as "3 Horseshoes" or "3
Horse Shoes", "Railway Tavern" as "Rly Tav",
"George" as "Geo.", "William" as
"Wm." etc |
|
The "Occupation" of publicans has been recorded in many different
forms ("Publican", "Beer Retailer",
"Innkeeper", "Inn Keeper", "Licenced Victualler",
"Landlord" etc and many different abbreviations / spellings
thereof - beware if using this field for searches! |
