Try to locate him in earlier censuses which might give the name of the pub. When you have the district you can also check trade directories.

Try these 1871 census RG10 piece 106 folio 5 page 3 and 1861 census the Maidens Head Inn Uckfield - RG09 piece 576 folio 4 page 1 - look like your man (the only Richard Cloake listed on the censuses - if only mine were that easy!)

Hello All,

Also many thanks to pennydog for you help and information you gave me, I am starting to find out all kinds of information now.

If he was a publican in 1871, there is also the possibility of searching licensing records. The 1872 Act led to registers being kept of licenses issued. Registers may or may not have survived for the right period and the right district.
