Can anybody please tell me what was the name of the pub at 27 & 29 Waingate in the Sheffield census of 1881. Also the name of the pub at 43 Charles Street in 1901. My cousin's husband, Henry Humberstone, worked at the Waingate pub before taking over the Plough on Broad Street and then the Three Horse Shoes on Norfolk Street. His widow, Sarah Elizabeth Humberstone, subsequently took over the Sportsman on Cambridge Street. She later emigrated to New York. Also, I feel there must be an obituary for him in a local newspaper but have not been able to find one. He died in November 1906. Can anybody help please?

To save anybody else looking - no pub name is shown on either the 1881 or 1901 image

Sheffield Archives appear to hold lots of information on Beer keepers

At the bottom of page there is a searchable data base of the pubs, unfortunately doesn't give street numbers.

Many thanks for your help. I can't find any of his pubs on the list which presumably means the list is not complete as he is listed as 'licensed victualler' in the 1891 and 1901 censuses, and his widow in the 1911 census.

According to the 1890 Town plan there were four public houses on Waingate, http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?coords=435719,387690

Do you also have the newspaper reports from 10 Feb 1902 regarding the non fatal stabbing of Henry HUMBERSTONE at the Three Horse Shoes, this describes him as landlord.

In the 1891 Census 27-29 Waingate was unoccupied as were numbers 9 to 25.

In Kelly's Directory of West Riding of Yorkshire, 1881. [Part 2: Places L-Y] (image 557, page 1156) John Tyrer & Co., Wine Merchants, are at 27 & 29 Waingate. In the directory 27 & 29 are just before Bridge Street on the west side of Waingate, which on the 1890 Town Plan is the Three Whitesmiths Public House.

Many thanks for all your help. The Tyrer at 27 &29 Waingate ties in with the 1881 census when Henry Humberstone was a servant there. It looks as though the Three Horse Shoes may have been on the corner of 190 Norfolk Street and Charles Street and it was completely destroyed in the Sheffield blitz. Does anybody know if Norfolk Street was previously called Jehu Street as there are some references to a Three Horse Shoes on Jehu Street? I know that Cambridge Street was originally known as Coal Pit Lane.
And yes I have found several newspaper references to Henry Humberstone including his stabbing.

Picture Sheffield has on the image of the Three Horse Shoes Hotel, "Jehu Lane (COMMERICIAL STREET) "The Three Horse Shoes Hotel"

You can see the Three Horse Shoes, Commercial Street (which is at the east end of the Shambles) on the 1853 Town Plan at http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?coords=435759,387492 the whole area has been rebuilt by 1890

Many thanks once again. I've now used Google maps which confirms that the Three Horse Shoes was on the corner of Norfolk Street and Charles Street. The pub with the same name on Jehu Lane just served to confuse me. Does anybody have access to newspapers because there just has to be an obituary for him? He also formed the brewery company on Orchard Street of 'Humberstone and Payne' but I can't find an obituary in the Sheffield Evening Telegraph.

Here is an article regarding Henry's funeral

Apologies, it won't let me upload the photo. It's a summary of Henry's funeral which took place in the Intake Cemetery in Sheffield - it just lists the non family attendees.
Henry Humberstone was my husband's great grandfather
