Do you have the 1871 census details?

Hi Norton
In the Post Office Directory of Cambs, Norfolk and Suffolk 1869 Roderick Elphinstone is listed as Blue Boar Publican and Rose Grower.
1871 Census lists him at the Blue Boar as Nurseryman and Publican (no mention of Blacksmith)
The Bury & Norwich Post 16th July 1878 and 19th July 1879 he is listed as a judge at the annual exhibition of the Diss Horticultural Society, but there are no details of his home address.
No mention of him being a Blacksmith on 1871 census as I recall.

Hello
Not sure what you want but found the entry for 1871 that confirms Roderick ELPHINSTONE was a publican
Also potted history of the Inn, note in the perid your ancestor had it there is no entry...your claim to fame?
There are alos 2 researchers on Ancestry
You do not state the dob of Roderick ELPHINSTONE

There has been a public house on this site since around 1750 but the original building was demolished in 1953 to widen the Wroxham Road and the current Blue Boar was built further back.
David Turnbull has joined an illustrious line of long serving landlords:
Thomas Olyott 1830 - 1865 John Desborough 1904 - 1918 John William Blyth 1923 - 1947 Frank Britt 1962 - 1979 David Turnbull 1979 to present time
