Being my usual muddled self, I decided that the pub that my Gt. Grandfather ran was in Stoke upon Trent instead of Dresden, and not surprisingly could not find it. Having re read the address on the 1881 census, I realised my mistake so Googled it. To my delight, not only is there a photo of it but it is part of a web site which takes you for a walk around the village. I have ended up with: Photo of pub; photo's of church where grandmother got married and other church where gt. Aunt was christened. Also mab ot the area in 1871. HOORAY FOR GOOGLE.

Hello Jeanie What was the site you looked at? I have a lot of people who lived in Dresden, so would be very interested to see it.

I think thats the one. The pub was the Sir Robert Peel, Trentham, which turned out to be Dresden. Note they also have 1881 census. Regards Jeanie
