Hi Jenny,

This site lists previous publicans throughout England, perhaps your grandfather is listed here?

Good luck with your tracing.

All the best,

Pete

Hi Jenny

I did have a quick flick through my copy of Albert Pinching's Wood Green Past - there is a section on pubs, but only a fleeting reference to the Ranelagh.

We've had a couple of responses to your enquiry via Twitter: @EnfieldWorkEx suggested the same site that Pete referenced below - it does look like a fascinating resource to trawl through!

Lesley Ramm @HornseyN8 has suggested the Hornsey Historical Society may have information or photographs. You could try emailing archivist@hornseyhistorical.org.UK

Hi Jenny

I see you've had some very good replies, hope they are helpful (I think I'll have a look at some of them myself).  It's probably a silly question, as you are researching your family history, but I suppose you have checked the 1901 and 1911 census records?  Just that I'll have a look for you, if you're not already on the necessary sites.

Best wishes

kathie
