ALFRED FRANCIS was the licensee for the CROWN & COLUMN, Ker St, Plymouth.1910 Kellys Trade Directory.

1919 Kellys directory lists WILLIAM BENJAMIN DEAN as the licensee.

ALFRED FRANCES moved to a small hamlet in Dorset 1918-1919. (the area was then in Hampshire). Believe his wife was Edith and they had 3 children. It is believed he was in the R.N. before he was a licensee.

I would like to know what date he actually gave up the public house so that I can pinpoint the date of his arrival in Dorset.

Can anyone assist me. I am inquiring for a relative of his in New Zealand.
