Thanks.
Only sticking to one census record won’t get you very far.

I hope you can find the information - marriage certificate should help as I posted earlier or a church record if you can find one.

Good luck with your research.

Thank you.  I appreciate your help and advice and that of all the others who have contributed to the story

On the subject of pub names, where I grew up I can think of three examples of pubs that had local names or nicknames: the Seaton Lane Inn was referred to as  “the roadside”;  the Murton Inn was called “the top house”; and the Pemberton Arms was called “the white house”.

Also, although I don’t have the image to hand, I recall that one of his children was born in Durham (the city). In common with many families in the North East at that time, especially miners, “they moved around a lot”. One driving force was that the mines in the western part of Durham were being worked out while the deep mines in the east of the county were going from strength to strength.

The Inn is named "The Bloodhound" on this '57 map - https://maps.nls.uk/view/101099588
It is unnamed on the '95 update - https://maps.nls.uk/view/101099588
Appears as The Prince of Wales by '15 - https://maps.nls.uk/view/102341509

I wonder when it dropped the name "The Bloodhound"?

I think you posted the same link twice for the 1857 and 1895 maps?

The link for the Bloodhound in 1857 is this https://maps.nls.uk/view/102341512#zoom=7&lat=7475&lon=1552&layers=BT

The earliest newspaper reference I can see to 'The Prince of Wales' at Flint Hill is in 1874

In 1877 the innkeeper there was a Joseph Oyston according to another newspaper report.

I believe it dropped the Bloodhound name soon after Queen Victoria's death in 1901 when the current Prince of Wales became King Edward VII and passed the title on to his son George (Later George V)

But if you look at my reply #23 you'll see that it was called 'The Prince of Wales' by 1874 ?

I believe it became unofficially known as the Prince of Wales in 1861 when Prince Albert died and Queen Victoria virtually retired from public life.  Edward VII was immensely popular and it was a show of public support.  I am interested in Joseph Oyston - can you tell me which newspaper this 1877 item appeared in?
