I'm hoping someone can give me some information on the people / pubs involved in this line:
Charles Beynon and his wife Clara ran the Fighting Cocks at Blakenhall in the 1920's/30's, but I'm not sure exactly when. Apparently they hosted annual dinners for the local cricket / bowling clubs?
In census / directories Charles Beynon is also linked to "drinking establishments":
1901 census: pubkeeper at 160 Bilston st. ?
1904 Kellys directory: beer retailer at 42 Church St??
Any info linked to the people/pubs?
Thanks :

Hi ajglos,
welcome to RootsChat
I'm not sure how to post a link but there's been lots of discussion on pubs in the Bilston area on the:
Black Country Friends and Neighbours thread on the Staffordshire Board
[adding link, not sure if it will work: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=280912.msg2375225;topicseen#msg2375225]

I've only just joined Rootschat so I don't know how much info you have received on the Beynon's but in my Bilston Public House records I have;
Charles David & Clara Beynon licensees of the Town Hall Stores Public House from 1901 to 1909 at 36, Church Street, Bilston.
Hope this is off some use

Thank you for the info - I did not have this.
The beynons moved fom one public house to another: 160 Bilston st 1901, 42 Church st according to 1904 kellys trade directory ( although you have found 36 Church st) Peel Arms 1911, Fighting Cocks 1915-1930 and 1932-1937. I do not know where they were for missing years.
