The following entries are in this format:

1869/Michael Ullmer jun/../../../Post Office Directory ****

In the 1871 census my Great Grandfather George Perry was working in the Black Swan as a barman. At the same time a barmaid, Mary Cannell, was also working there and later (1873) married George and therefore became my Great Grandmother.

The entry in the 1871 census shows the pub in Brown's Lane not Hanbury Street. However I have compared Whitbread's 1865 map of London with a current map, Brown's Lane clearly occupies the area that Hanbury Street does now, so presumably the road was renamed. ***
