Ten years later, the Census returns are far more thorough, and show that the family appears to have prospered as they could afford to raise another child :

1861

Sadly by 1861 William had become a widower and he was reduced to being just the lodger, to add insult to injury the new landlord had renamed the pub :

In the 1871 Census, there is neither a public house nor a landlord / innkeeper listed, though the Springfords are still in the village. However, ten years later saw another change of ownership and pub name :

This Census return shows no name for the pub, but as it is still known as The Old Inn, we can assume that it didn't change again :
