Good Morning from Australia !!,
Yes, they look like a very unpleasant place to live by modern standards. But I hope as a Publican William Snr. and family had a bit of a more comfortable life. It makes you understand why so many ofthe younger ones took off for the Antipodes for a possibly better life and adventure.

I was in England during my younger years ( in the 80's) but had no interest in family history then. Now I look forward to revisiting in the future and retracing my ancestors footsteps, as soon as my kids are off my hands!!.

Yes I had found both those sites also, plus Frances Friths photgraphic site, with many beautiful photos of England and counties.

Hi Yokel,
 Yes, that site is where I found my Leggetts, after finding out William Leggett was a Publican on the census data. I also found that Mary Ann ( his wife) had an extra name ( Hannah) and that their son must have taken over the license as well !!

I always wondered why I liked a beer or two !!!!

I was just hoping that someone from Yarmouth might have a photo of the Pub or what is there now . I have tried all sorts of photo sites ( Yarmouth on Film etc.), and found a photo of  the Row they lived in previously., but no luck with  65 Middlegate Street or Pub itself.
William and Marys son -surprise-William Newby Leggett, emigrated to N.Z. in 1869 approx. He was my great-grandfather.
Thanks again;
Trish

Thanks Jim.
Yes, I have tried just about everything I can think of. Hopefully someone might come up with something for me,
 or be linked to any of these families.
I have even tried all the Fitzpatrick researchers, no luck.
The Leggetts ( from Great Yarmouth,Norfolk) I have traced back to mid 1750's. Even found out g/g grandfather and later g/g grandmother were Publicans from the NorfolkPubs website.
 Always wondered why I loved a beer or two!!!

Thanks for the link, Sylvia.
I have just spent time reading all the episodes so far info. I wish we got the show here in Australia. Fascinating!!
