Think he may have been the Landlord .. shows licences being issued in newspaper article of 1/1/1916. There again mentions a Thomas Doyle too.. (but not in what capacity) would have actually go and look at the article to confirm. And, dang, doesn't mention the address ...just the pub...grrr.
I just can't get my head around the fact that the council of the time changed all the numbers all the way up that long road !! Letters would be whizzing all over the place for years ..
