Sorry but you've got the first census wrong. The landlord at the time was William Blacklidge/Blackledge born 1795. If you search the 1841 census again, you will find him with the address of Hoghton Arms. Edward was probably his brother but I'm working to clarify that information
ReplyDeleteThanks Catherine. It was a while ago that I did this pub and I wasn't convinced that Edward was the landlord of the Hoghton Arms, but couldn't find William at the time, but I've got him now, thanks.
