Only found the one instant of this pub so far from the 1871 census when Robert Fordham was the licensee and described as a licensed victualler.

Johanna Sullivan (nee O'Connor) was married to Patrick Sullivan, but I don't know whether he was previously the licensee, Johanna left the premises with her 5 children after the death of her husband, to go to New York where she started a new life.
