    Default The Golden Ball, Boxworth

    Does anyone have access to electorial rolls or directories for Boxworth in Cambridgeshire?

    I am trying to make a record of the people who lived and ran the Golden Ball Public House. I have all the census returns from 1841 to 1901.

    Hi
    I know it is a bit late but my great grandfather ran the Golden Ball in the 1920's he was George Croft Brown. I believe my grandmother had her wedding reception there.
    I thought there was a record of the innkeepers in the pub, last time I was there about 15-20years ago there certainly was.

    Many thanks for your message. The pub has undergone re-decoration a few times in recent years and now has a new owner. You probably wouldn't recognise the interior from 15 years ago.

    I think the record of inkeepers has long gone as it is the new owner who has shown an interest in this project.

    I've found a few directories in Cambridge library and am still compiling the list. Unfortunately I don't have the list on my home computer (it is on my work computer) but I will make sure I have your great grandfather's name.
