John Eltringham, Shield Row

[Elliven]

Can anyone please give me any information on John Eltringham who was living in the Shield Row/Kip Hill area about 1850-1853.  He was fined at a court in Shotley Bridge for opening out of hours - so I assume he was a publican or a beerhouse keeper.  Many thanks.

What kind of information?

Is he on the 1851 census - quite a few of that name in Durham

CaroleW,

Any information at all.  I am trying to build up a picture of all the pubs, inns, hotels and beerhouses in the area and the men and women who ran them.  His name cropped up in a press report I read today concerning a fine for out of hours opening but he is not on my list.  So I am looking for any clue that might help me to track him

There are a number of that name - & suitably aged - on the 1851 census.  Have you looked at the images to check for occupation and address?

I have looked for John Eltringham on the 1851 Census for Durham and also for Northumberland (Shotley Bridge used to be in Northumberland). There were 18 of all ages in Durham and 4 of all ages in Northumberland, none recorded employment linked to inns / public houses.

There is an insolvent debtor -  John ELTRINGHAM "late at Lodgings in Hanover Square, in the Borough and County of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, out of business, previously of Black Hill near Shotley Bridge, in the County of Durham, carrying on business under the Firm of "S. Eltringham and Company", as Grocers and Provisions Dealers, and formerly of William Street, Arthur's Hill, in Newcastle-upon-Tyne ..."
Newcastle Journal, 29 December 1855

Not sure if this is the same chap, but it is the closest reference I can see in the papers. 

Where did you source the original info?
