I've tried googling, but to no avail at present.

I don't know where in Bridport he died. I will have to buy the death cert eventully to find out, but in the mean time...

What local directories are available for that area?

Have you tried googling for the names of public houses in Bridport?

If he died whilst living at the pub, the address will be on the death cert

I am trying to trace the elder brother of my grandfather - Albert OR Richard OR Albert Richard Smith. His father has same name(s) combinations !!

'Albert Richard' was baptised on 14th Febr, 1894 in Weymouth, Dorset. He later ran a pub in Bridport, Dorset. He died in there area in 1966.

I am trying to find the pub's name and how long he had the pub for etc.....

I have the reference for his death, but not the actual ceretificate yet.

My late father remembers visiting him in the 1950's with my grandparents, and my gran being charged 6pence for the bottle of water my father had been given !! So much for family hospitality.......

Anyway, if anyone can please help at all........

Many thanks,
