I have a birth certificate dated March 1854. The place of birth was listed as Blue Boar Court, Dowlais, was this a pub or was it just an address ?
I have tried to google the address but nothing comes up.

My ancestor Maurice Hennessy was licensee of the Blue Boar Dowlais until the 1940's. Does anyone know of him or his family.
