1851 Census - HO 107/1699, Folio 180
Would any kind soul be able to check the aforementioned document to let me know where the Eight Bells inn was in Ealing - it's apparently the Brentford registration district but I don't suppose that narrows it down as much as I would hope - certainly couldnt find an Eight Bells on Brentford High Street.

Look backwards and forwards on the census pages to get a street address.

rare to get full street addresses back then; the closest you may get to pinning it down is via the Enumerators route.

Try Bell Lane, Ealing it seems to have been there in 1871.
Got this by doing a Google search for Eight Bells Inn Brentford.

I fear that this Bell Lane and the dead pub is in Twickenham rather than Ealing. Thank you though.

I am not a paying member of Ancestry so cant see those records. I know they offer a free trial but they want my credit card details which I'm not too happy about. I know that sounds as if I'm a phobic Luddite but if anyone is a member and wouldnt mind following Mort29's suggestion for me, it'd save me anxiety and earn you Karma. ;)

all you have to do is cancel the agreement before the 14 day deadline.
All these genealogy sites use SSL technology to take card details, and the bigger companies have a reputation to keep, so I doubt you will have a problem.

sadly, all my Karma has been spent on Ancestry subscriptions.

I've had a quick look at the 1861 census too see if any of the families that lived near the Eight Bells in 1851 were still there, and it seems that many of them hadn't moved at all in the ten years, they were in the same place with the same next door neighbours. ;D
So Eight Bells must have been either on or next to "Church Square" in Ealing, also very near to "Westfield House" (Quick google search shows that this building still stands, and is on St Mary's Road, Ealing).
Hope this helps,
millerina ;D
