Please does anyone know of a site where I could get info, on pub landlords in Selby 1863/64 I am trying to find a Thomas Ince Kerr he was only a land lord after 1861 census because he was still in Rotherham Yorkshire on that census and he Died in 1864

I don't think there is anything online, at best if you know the name of the public house(s) then you might find something an a local/regional history site or references to location of documents on a2a or national archives websites.

The reference library might have something or failing that the local FHS might be able to give you some guidance.

Moira, I'd contact the current landlord of the pub!

They are always interested in a bit of history that can promote the pub.

Perhaps the Licensing Records office at the relevant Magistrates Court keeps old records ??

Hi Moira

I was lucky enough to find the licensing records for one of my rellies at the record office local to the area where the pub was.

If...and it's a big if!...the records have survived I would have thought they'd be at either the Borthwick Institute in York or the East Riding County Records Office at The Treasure House in Beverley.

Check with the local branch of CAMRA see if they have any info. Our local one has researched the history and has the names of the landlords going back 200 years for the pubs in the town
