(1871 they were at Stanley St) and he (Robert) seemed to be a laborer ...sounded like some kind of metal or blacksmith work... then all the sudden he's a beerseller. Maybe he took over the business and moved it down the road or something. Do you know when the street name changed from John St?
The Cricketers Arms was on the same side as the Queens on the next corner so couldn't have been number 4 and it wasn't on Melbourne Street that pub was The Old House At Home
