The old name was certainly uninspiring and probably a relic of the days when Salthouse dock was used for exporting salt mined in Cheshire and refined in Liverpool.

Around that early/mid 1820's period there was a Mary Whitford, victualler, at 14 Ranelagh Street (The Grapes). A relative?

Thanks for the map, Stan.
Re Mary Whitford - very interesting, she's not on my list, but there weren't many Whitfords in Llverpool at that time. I will investigate.
best wishes,

The name change is interesting - I wonder why.

The title was only created in 1816 for Admiral Pellew. He was a popular officer and the landlord may have been an old sailor.

Aha! Another clue - thanks for that. My ancestor was a mariner.

No, not my ancestor. I believe the Liverpool line started with Richard Whitford, mariner, born in Cornwall, married Charlotte Jones on the Isle of Man, son Robert Henry born in 1814. Thanks, anyway.
