Many thanks newburychap for all the info.  Really interesting - the NWN obit shows my great grandfather (SJ Stillman) as attending James Dew's funeral!

Shame about the pics of the Two Brewers - I had already tried to follow the link from earlier messages and had no luck.

My ancestor William Turner (from another branch of the family!) was licensee at the Red House from about 1881 - 1894.  He then kept the Wellington Arms from 1894 - 1896.  It must run in the family!

There are a number of my ancestors who have been licensees of various pubs in Newbury, including the Two Brewers as mentioned in your original message.  Emily Langfield/Atherton (married to Edmund New) was publican of the Two Brewers in the late 1880's/early 1890's.

Her sister, Kate Atherton was married to James Dew who was licensee of the Newmarket Inn between early 1890's and his death in 1908.  It seems that on his death his brother in law Edmund New took over temporarily as licensee of this pub.

Would be really interested in any further information you have about either of these pubs, in particular the Two Brewers which I seem to be unable to find much information about.

Thanks

Ruth
