Hello I’ve been reading through some newspaper articles I’ve come across while looking for information about an ancestor who was a policeman in Sheffield 1851 - 1881 ish he attended a fracas at a beer house/public house called Mr Tunes Castle Gate has anyone got any information please ....
To sell alcohol, a person must have a license. The licenses were (and
still are) granted by the local magistrates court. The only way that you
can find your ancestor's license would be to look in the court records.
