I know my ancestor Thomas Yates purchased this Hotel between 1871 & 1881. It was passed down in my family until around 1940 - 1945. However I can find no information! I know it was quite popular and they had many music bands playing there. Any information either for the sale of this to Thomas Yates in the 1870's or the sale in the 1940's from Mary Ann Speakman. Or any advertisements about the events that were held there. I am really struggling to find any sort of info but there must be some advertising or things out there? Any help would be very much appreciated. Many Thanks - Laura Yates. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I am interested in Yates close to Preston. My gr-grandfather John Henry Yates, was born 1838 , supposedly in Preston. His father was stated to be a merchant. Could there be any connection between Thomas and John Henry? Do you know Thomas's parents names ?
