Pub Landlords in the 1800's

Does anyone know if pub landlords had to be licenced in the 1800's as they do today and if so would records be available. I have just found out that my ancestors ran a lovely little country pub in the Lake District for all of the latter half of the century but different family members were landlords due to deaths and marriages and it would be nice to know exactly who was in charge and from what dates. It's a pub I use when visiting family who live in the next village and we never knew of the connection. Who knows it might be worth a free drink next time we visit. |

What are you hoping to find? If you already know they ran the pub? The licence application may be at the local records office but Im not sure it will give you much info. |

Am just curious to find out which one of the couple actually held the licence. My Gtx3 Aunt lived at the pub before her marriage when it was run by her Aunt & Uncle. Did she carry on the licence when her husband moved into the inn and Aunty and Uncle left or did her husband who had no experience and is a joiner by profession take it on by virtue of being born male. I guess I am hoping for some evidence of womens lib even so long ago. |

Well many a pub was run by a husband and wife team - the man pursuing his normal trade and the wife in effect running the pub. I have many instances of it. So it wouldnt be unusual for a joiner to continue with his own work and the rest of the family to do the day to day running of a pub. |

Could be worth asking at the pub if they have any old paperwork. There might be deeds or such. Some of the pubs near me have old deeds and other paperwork framed and hanging on the walls and I expect lots mroe pubs have a bundle of old documents somewhere so definitely worth asking. Especially if you can show them some of the info from old censuses - they'll know you're genuine as well. |

My GGFx3 had the Crown Inn at Wimbledon "village". Its very well documented - the beautiful people of London used to meet in a room there - all the poets and writers and apparently they would be besieged by reporters - lol you dont think of life like a Hello magazine back then do you BUT when I wrote to the brewery who now own the chain I didnt even get a reply. Youd think they would have some sort of records in archives wouldnt you! After GGFx3 death his wife appeared to carry on part of the inn - the lodging bit but let out the brewing and beer selling side to someone else. |
