Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Hi all, I'm trying to find records for my first cousin once removed. Apparently they used to run the White House Inn at Boughton near Chester, overlooking the river Dee in the 60's and 70's. Her name was Rosaleen Keeley and apparently married a Donald Lawson.

I have had a Google and found a page on Chester's old pubs, but it only gives the landlords in the 50's as Bill and Nancy Read.

Any ideas as to where I can find records for them?

Many thanks as ever, John

I would contact the Cheshire Archives direct to ask as I suspect anything would be kept there, if not then they would probably know where. There's a Contact button on the top of the site http://archives.cheshire.gov.uk/home.aspx

Am I able to view Electoral registers at all? Cheshire Archives came back with that as an option, but none are on Ancestry . Thanks, John

Many thanks for the links Blue. The helpful email from the senior archivist at Cheshire archives said that the records are offsite and to order 10 days in advance.

Wow, even when the Liverpool RO had their temporary premises there was only a five day wait, can only say good luck!
