| Description: |
The thousands of pages list original content on Pub History, Census and Trade Directory entries from the Post Office , Kelly and Pigots Directories, Petty Session Victuallers records etc. for the last two hundred years. The public houses, taverns, beer houses & beer retailers (the early off licences) are listed by church parish as they would have existed before 1900, as many of these are no longer in existence. Use this site, and the search engine, to discover the areas of London and the Home counties during this time.
It is always useful to find your people in the census first, which are now available in 1901, and every en years previous back to 1841 - 1841 and 1901 , then again in 1911. Next, find some civil registrations at the freebmd site (or try the card system at your local library). If your relative was a tradesman, there is probably an entry in the early Yellow Pages (Kellys, Pigots & Post Office Directories). In the case of beer retailers and licensed victuallers - there should be a court entry for licensing in the Petty Sessions Victuallers records. These Petty Sessions records will be held at the relevant record office (maybe). |
