This ancestor of ours is living with his wife Ann at 46 Grosvenor Street, Hanover Square on 1851 census. occupation "IN CHARGE OF HOUSE" would this be a caretaker? in 1841 he was a Publican. How could I find who owned this house in 1851 please?? He is not on 1861 census, so maybe the William Golding who died 1859 district St. Georges Hanover Square. I have sent for DC Eve
