Hi Can anyone tell me the name of the public house in Whitchurch in 1851....I believe it was situated on the High Street. In 1851 George CHESHIRE is described as a Victualler, his address is given as High Street, Whitchurch. Living with him is his widowed sister Hannah TOMPKINS Many thanks indeed Kind regards Tezz _________________________________________________________________ Want to block unwanted pop-ups?

You need to look at a directory. Start with the Digital Library of Historical Directories at Leicester University. http://www.historicaldirectories.org/ Musson & Cravens Commercial Directory of Buckinghamshire & Windsor, 1853, is probably your best bet. I expect it'll list all inns, & some beerhouses. I've found ancestors in it, e.g. a "beer retailer & boat owner, Walton St" in Aylesbury & a "market gardener & beer retailer", in Stone, but neither had a named premises, so be prepared for that possibility.

In 1883, according to the Ordnance Survey map, there was only on pub in Whitchurch, The Swan, nowadays called The White Swan at No.10 High Street. (I find it hard to believe there were not several more.) The Swan was at the SE end of the High Street opposite a big house called The Firs and close to an area called Little London. If you study adjacent entries in the census you should be able to confirm that this is the right one.
