Wow Both of those are very interesting. Thank you very much. Seeing newspapers are mentioned I found a piece about a relative of mine who turned out to be a multiple bigamist, I'd no idea. All the ladies he married had said he was a real gentleman. It did make me smile. This was just 1 of many from a random search on Google.

There is a Stephen Chadwick in Brotherton, son of John, "50" years younger than the publican.

A chap has done a comprehensive investigation into licensed premises in and around my home town and placed it online at
http://chorleyinnsandtaverns.blogspot.com/

He has used any number of sources, and makes them obvious in the narrative, but newspapers are the best bet of filling in the gaps between censuses. Have a look and see the sort of thing which are around.

I've helped him sort out some of the details of pubs where my relatives have been involved, and their relationships.

Thanks to everyone who contributed. It was Stephen Chadwick, son of John that has a connection for me. I wouldn't have found him without your help.
