I have a family- Thomas and Hannah Hancock -who lived from 1841-1884 at a location called the BullYard in Spilsby Lincolnshire. What is ment on the census by the name the Bull Yard? They were tailors by trade so I doubt it was a farm. A name for their house?

I browsed the Historical Directories site, using Bull Yard as the keywords, and found it in Spilsby. One mention was for the frequency of a carrier's van leaving the Bull yard every Tuesday for .... whichever village. This was under "Carriers from the Inns" so I suspect that it was literally the [court]yard of the Bull Inn that it left from. Perhaps your Hancocks had their business and home in the buildings surrounding the courtyard of the inn.

Thank you. I understand what you are saying. Since, their occupation was a tailor, then I am sure they would have lived/worked in a place in the village that would have had a lot of foot traffic/potential customers.
The census never listed them as inn keepers so I am assuming their residence looked over the Bull Yard. An interesting side note, is Hannah Tyson's son in law in 1881 was a coach driver.
Thansk again- Kristin
