| Beer Pump, 1891 |
20thC - St Mary Stratford Bow, London
Family mythology:
Charles & Eliza owned the "Merry & Wise Pub", Stratford le Bow (Stratford East Station); he suffered Delirium tremens.
James never did well in life. At some point he went to Australia and came back. He died in the workhouse in E. London. Some doubt as to whether he ever got his inheritance from his brother Charles - 12s. a week plus tobacco and beer.
Francis had two daughters Dolly & Lidy? Francis sold the "Merry & Wise Pub" left to him by his brother Charles and bought "The Commercial Hotel" in Camberwell and left James to his own resources!

Before you are on with the new.
