Yes that thought had occured to me, but Directorys are a bit and miss as to what dates I could get, and I am not sure that the Landlord's name would be listed.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

I am interested in anyone who ran this pub during the 1940's - how would I go about finding this information. Any help would be much appreciated.

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1901 census
« on: Friday 20 October 06 17:14 BST (UK) »
Thank you so much for the look-up. I was hoping for a Richard Reed and some sisters, which I have in abundance. There is certainly enough of them to keep me busy tracing for some considerable time.
Thanks once again for your help, much appreciated.

Shropshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1861 Ludlow lookup - James Pugh, vet.

Hi Rambler and Monica
You know what it's like when you've been working on people on your tree and then you decide to look properly at the line following the mother, rather than the one which directly relates to you!!!
I too was just looking at bmds and found the ludlow one, which puts her 4-5 years older than the census' and her marriage certs. The only other possibility was an 1858 one, but in Hereford, not too far away, where later on her husband came from. She does keep stating Ludlow as her birthplace but she could be wrong of course.
What I do like about the one with Mary Pugh is that there is no father, so that throws up the possibilty of her father really being a vet, but her being illegitimate and taking her mother's name. Perhaps he had an affair with his servant? It would make sense of the fact that we can't turn up James Pugh vet, he may really have been called James, but she would have changed the surname to fit hers. (Have other close rellie who did that!!)
It might be a case of sending off for the 2 certs, although the way this is going I'm not sure anything will be confirmed - so it would be a good idea to have to get both girls on each census really to sort them out. (Funnily enough, my ggrandmother in Stoke had the same name as a girl born the same year and place, yet there were no others with that name within 20 years and we had to try to pick out which was which there!!! )
I'm reasonably sure she wouldn't have been born Stourbridge as it's too far away, not far from where I live in fact.
Thanks very much for all your brilliant help and the suggestions, this is getting more intriguing by the minute and there are now lots of possibilities to investigate

Shropshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1861 Ludlow lookup - James Pugh, vet.

Unfortunately the only info on James Pugh is from Clara's marriage certificate in 1888 - which also states that by that time he is deceased, which is why I was hoping to find him in 1861. Obviously he is not playing fair, and I have tried looking at some online directories, without any luck so far.
The reason why we thought Ludlow, is that on later census' she has put place of birth as Ludlow.
Thank you both for your help, maybe I will have to try a different tack - though how escapes me at the minute - but if she is stretching the truth with regard to his occupation - she certainly doesnt do things by halves. Clara's marriage was to Joesph Morgan who states that his father is a labourer, so you would imagine that there was not the need to make her family appear grander.

Shropshire Lookup Requests / 1861 Ludlow lookup - James PUGH - vet.
« on: Friday 22 September 06 14:36 BST (UK) »
Could anyone please look for a James Pugh on the 1861 census.
I have very little information about him although the fact that he was a veterinary surgeon should help. He should be in Ludlow, have a daughter Clara age approx 3, guessing he should be born around 1830.
I know the information isn't ideal, but hoping that his job will make him stand out. Any help would be most appreciated.
Regards
Sandra
