Cullenswood, Ranelagh, in
[Pettigrew and Oulton, 1845, p.823].
The numbering is different to that in
[Thoms, 1850]
and later.
We can match some things:
The earliest clear identification of the pub:
Cullenswood, Ranelagh, in [Thoms, 1850, p.870].
The numbering is consistent after this for many years, though the street name changes to "Elm Grove".
The future Humphreys' pub is 12 and 13 Cullenswood.

Humphreys' pub on
price list
from the 12 and 13 Elm Grove period (would be 1910 to 1932).
Think the date
"1910" is the date he set up pub in Ranelagh rather than date of price list.
