Pubs in Wolverhampton   /  Beynon

I feel I'm closing in on the movements of Charles david Beynon and his wife Clara Lucy a little - but would love any information on the numerous drinking establishments they were connected with : (Willow has very kindly posted some replies to this)

1901 census: 160 Bilston St

1904 Kellys  : 42 Church st, Bilston

1911 census : Charles and Clara were in 1911 going by their respective middle names (David and Lucy) for some reason, but it is definitely the same people. In 1911 they are listed as publicans at "The Peel Arms", Peel Street.  ??

1921 Kelly directory at The Fighting Cocks (not there in 1932 so do not know what happened to them after 1921).

Hi ajglos,
  My OH's great Aunt ran a hairdressers shop at no 14 Bilston Street in 1901 and that was somewhere between the ring road island and where the police station is now so i'd guess 160 was a little out of town heading towards Monmore Green, i'll see what i can find in that area.
  Sometime between 1891 and 1901 census High Street and Church Street addresses were all renumbered so it's a bit awkward to determine which establishment it is at the moment, i'll try and work out which one it is from my list.

 Nice links to the Fighting Cocks Willow, i must have passed it hundreds of times when i lived in Pennfields but i couldn't remember what it looked like.

 
  Nice to put a few faces to names this afternoon and i apologise for not being able to stay very long, next time i'll make sure i have more time, it was very enjoyable to meet you all 

  best wishes, Tony

Hi Willow,

We had a great mini-meet on Wednesday.  Morrison's cafe was a good venue, easy to find and quiet at that time of day.

Just myself, RoDe, Tony55 and ponjalow, made it but it was great to meet the people behind the pseudonyms (and a few relatives too). You would have loved it as we had a great discussion on the locations of pubs in Bilston as well as other topics.  We were there about an hour but it flew by.

While on the subject, the topic for the Black Country Memories Club next meeting (in Bilston) on Wednesday the 22nd April is "Pubs and Clubs", so I hope to be back for that too.

Thanks to Tony for getting me the book that he told me about too.  I have a question relating to the book.  there is a picture in it of the old Holy Trinity School in the 1990s but a mention that it was already boarded up at the time of publication.  Does it still exist?  If not, does anyone know what happened to the named bricks?  I must try to find a list of those whose contributions were honoured in this way asit looks like one in the picture was from my family.

Got to dash out now but back later.

Has anyone any info about the Barnett family - mainly from West Bromwich and Oldbury. Samuel Barnett had two bickyards in the late 19th century one called Rattle Chain and the other Stour Valley - both near the canal.  He married Lavinia Hailey (spelling differs). They had seven children - most buried in the cemetery in Dudley.

Hi Sheila

This may be a long shot but the above may just be my brickwall    Can you let me know what years the 2 Beddows baptisms are, please.  My OH's mother was a Beddows, born Aston, Birmingham, her father was Arthur Beddows and his marriage certificate shows his father as John Beddows but so far I have been unable to locate any info about them and as you know the ancestors turn up in the most unexpected places.

Thanks

Crystal (with fingers crossed)

Hi Crystal,

sent by PM.

Sorry tompson, I didn't find any Barnetts in the Holy Trinity baptism register or is that not what you were asking?

Welcome to RootsChat.

If it's a more general question about Barnetts in Staffordshire you'd probably get more response if you started a new thread.
