  • trying to find an old pub

    Morning all
    does anyone know where I can find out about a pub that one of my ancestors managed in 1861 and 1871.I've googled till I'm all googled out and still cant find anything.It was St James Tavern in St Sepulchre Gate in Doncaster, I found it on the 1861 census for my ancestor so it did actually exist but it seems very hard to find out any information other than that.
    Thanks Angie

    Perhaps the Sheffield Archives is the best place to start.
    The National Archives | Search the archives | ARCHON Directory | Repository Details

    It was there in 1910-1913 according to the Valuation Office survey
    SY/385/K65/13 1910-1913
    The National Archives | Access to Archives

    Have you tried searching on historical directories?
    Historical Directories

    Hope this helps.
