From Huckster to Publican!!
« on: Thursday 10 July 08 01:56 BST (UK) »
My Relative was on the 1851 as a Huckster when his daughter was born in 1853 he is a Publican

Any ideas how this could have come about?

Also were there public houses then?

In the 1843 Directory there were “Ale and Porter Dealers” but I cannot find any Public Houses. In 1858 there are “Publicans, Hotels, Inns and Taverns’.

The usually meaning of Huskster is someone selling ale in the street. So it may mean that he went indoors between these dates. However, another meaning of Huskster is someone selling wares from a small booth, so he may have already had a roof over his head in1851, but not where he also slept.

Hi

In Pigpt & Co's 1829 there were certainly Public Houses, so presumably there were publicans running them.

The Liverpool section also has "Public Houses with no sign above the door, commonly known as Letters"

Best wishes

Thank you both for your help.

I get the picture now.

Maybe I will try to find him on the 61 to see what he is doing then.

If anyone can help his name was Joseph Taylor with wife Mary.
They lived in Worksop Notts.

Thanks again
