Good Morning All, I'm new to the list and researching my husband's family which has recently led me to the area of Whitby and in particular Church Street where his ancestors were seen for many census years. George FRANK was initially a 'Cartwright' in 1841 and his son George a 'Shipwright' but by 1851, George sen. was age 60 and the census said an 'InnKeeper'. He died before the next census and it seems that the son George then becomes the 'Licenced Vituallar' before 1861 before moving on to farming and furniture broker/dealer. My two questions are, could anyone please tell me the name of the public house/inn which I assume would have been in Church Street where they were seen on census? Also could I also get any further information on their time spent there? Thanking you in advance for any help with this.

Hi Patricia, I cannot answer your question, but I know a man who probably can! I belong to a very active list for Whitby. It isn't a Rootsweb list, but a Yahoo group, which works in a similar way. Try subscribing to [email protected] Best wishes Janice Wood
