Grattan of Cardigan Arms
Posted: Mon 27 Nov, 2017 10:01 pm
Hello from over the pond!
I'm trying to research my family. My great-great-grandfather, John Grattan (1828-1875) was born in Ripon, but by 1860 was listed a the publican at Cardigan Arms. The "Bell's Life in London" from April 1863 still lists him as working there. By 1871, he's listed on the census as a "cow keeper" at 21 Burley Rd. When he dies (his wife having died 2 years prior), he leaves 5 children, the oldest of whom is 14. I don't know who the children end up living with. But 10 years later, one of his sons, my great-grandfather, makes his way to the US.
I'm looking for any clarification on this information, or if the brewery kept records of who ran their pubs, or any photos from this time period.
Thank you!
