Jenkinson family of Tanfield Village

[Elliven]

Can anyone please help with the location of a family named Jenkinson (possibly Jackson) in Tanfield Village in the 1841 or 1851 Censuses.  I know that they lived in the village during that period but I don't know exactly where.  Many thanks.

Any christian names?  25 entries for surname Jenkinson in Durham in 1851 - none in Tanfield

Have you used www.familysearch.org to look for them?

I have no Christian names and the only mention I have is in an 1848 press report where she was a witness in a court case after having been the victim of a forger who paid her for a bottle of lemonade with a fake shilling! 

She was listed as a publican and she was not in the Pack Horse (publican's name Irwin) or the Peacock (publican's name Stott) but there was another pub in the old Tudor House which stood on the site of what is now Tudor Drive - not to be confused with the nearby Tanfield Hall which was also a Tudor house!.  The name of this pub is unknown.

I was hoping to get more clues if I can identify her as the occupant of that old Tudor house.

A look at the 1851 Census confirms that in addition to Stott and Irwin being innkeepers there was a third inn (name unknown). The innkeeper in 1851 was an ancestor of my wife's -- Jacob Rowell -- he was also a tailor (followed his father's footsteps)

AllanUK,

That is very interesting!  The third pub was previously believed to have closed by about 1843 so that will become another line of enquiry.  If only I could find the name of that third pub.

There is a suggestion that it might have been the Britannia but no solid evidence to back it up.  Do you have any idea of how long he was there?

I'll get back to you tomorrow after I have looked at my wife's family tree.

Two newspapers name the landlady as "Mrs Jackson" - one names her as "Mrs Jenkinson"?

[Elliven]

Thanks for that information.  I will try looking for a Mrs Jackson, just in case!

Can you please give me the names and dates of the two newsapers you found with the name of Mrs Jackson.  Thanks
