thanks Ann Just looked at picture of the pub. Would't mind having a drink there myself! Looks lovely. Will contact Richmond Library and see if they have any history on it. Many thanks Jackie

As suggested, might be worth contacting the Richmond library. The White Cross is a Youngs pub, so have a look on the Youngs Brewery site for a photo.

Thank you Ann and Geoff. Ann- Will try to find out more about the White Cross. Geoff-Thanks for that. It is written as Crofs. My ancestor was cellarman there in 1875. Jackie

In 19th writing, White Cross would be written as White Crofs.

Hello Could it be the White Cross? Now a pub,(not sure whether a hotel as well)but has been there since 1835, and is right by the river, in Richmond. Have spent many a happy evening there!

Hi, Would anyone be able to tell me where the White Croft(think thats what it is) Hotel was in Richmond, Surrey. Just got a marriage certificate for one of my ancestors from 1875 and it gives his place of residence as this hotel. Many thanks Jackie
