Your William was the Licensee of the Buck and Bell at 39 Parson Street, where as the present Buck and Bell is in North Bar. 39 Parson Street, (was Parsons Lane), is still standing, so can still be visited. If of any help, I can be found at the local Study Centre on Wednesday and Friday afternoons, so if convient, please let me know when you visit, and I will willingly, help you out if required. My pleasure. Enjoy Life. Never promise, but will always try.
