Pub/address Newcastle under Lyme

[pedders]

I have been able to locate Edward Barker (born 1818 and married to Sarah Eardley) living in Bridge Street, Newcastle under Lyme in the 1861 census.  Unfortunately the record I have doesn't have the exact address in Bridge Street.  Pigots Directory of Staffordshire shows an Edward Barker being the proprietor of the Brown Jug in Bridge Street in 1830.  As the 1818 Edward Barker is a malster and licensed victualler I wonder if he was related and had taken over the pub.  Any help with a look up would be appreciated.

A death notice in the paper on 20 Dec 1851 states Edward Barker, of the Brown Jug, Bridge Street died 9th Dec, age 71.

The earliest reference I can find has Edward Barker at the Brown Jug on 2 January 1819.

That is great.  It looks like the Barker family were tenants, unless they purchased it in the auction.

Obviously Edward Barker (senior) ran the Brown Jug and lived there until 1851.  I just need to establish that Edward Barker (junior) took over the pub and that it is the Brown Jug he occupied in the 1861 census.
