Public House Occupants
« on: Sunday 10 May 20 10:38 BST (UK) »
My Father was born in a Pub in Windsor Berkshire but, because it was in 1922 I am not able to find it in any Census.
I really want to know who owned the Pub and the names of any lodgers/workers living there. It may be that my Grandad worked there, I don't know.
The Pub in question, in case any one knows of it, was the Man of Kent which sat at the end of Green Lane in Windsor unto about the early 1960's when it was demolished.
I would be interested if there is a Web site or some organisation etc, that has records.
Obviousely I can't go to the Council Offices at this time be will, when possible.
Thanks

There are several pub history websites which will tell you the history of the property, however the only record that comes to mind where it will give occupants would be the 1939 register
Leicestershire:Chamberlain, Dakin, Wilkinson, Moss, Cook, Welland, Dobson, Roper,Palfreman, Squires, Hames, Goddard, Topliss, Twells,Bacon.
Northamps:Sykes, Harris, Rice,Knowles.
Rutland:Clements, Dalby, Osbourne, Durance, Smith,Christian, Royce, Richardson,Oakham, Dewey,Newbold,Cox,Chamberlaine,Brow, Cooper, Bloodworth,Clarke
Durham/Yorks:Woodend, Watson,Parker, Dowser
Suffolk/Norfolk:Groom, Coleman, Kemp, Barnard, Alden,Blomfield,Smith,Howes,Knight,Kett,Fryston

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

The Electoral Roll is another possibility.

Shaun, thanks for the tip but I am not sure which one to use.
The problem I have is that I know who owned the Pub from the 1911 Census but as my Dad was born there in 1922 the Census for then is not yet available.

Have you looked for your grandfather in the 1920's electoral rolls?
