Puzzle at The Red Lion

[johnP-bedford]

So I am assuming Mary Tebbs, was the widow of William Tebbs, and by going by their ages at death; William born 1786 & Mary born 1792;  the only couple on the 1841 census that colud fit are farmer & wife of Haw End farm, Houghton Conquest, both not born in Beds.

Also noted there was a William Tebbs age 25 & (possible wife) Eliza Tebbs age 20, Innkeeper in St Loyes Bedford.  At the other Red Lion pub perhaps

That's interesting Shaun - so JJ was in debt to William Thody, butcher - who had a shop 2 doors up at 51 High Street; & Thomas Gray, winemerchant of St Marys (as per 1861).

So what happened to him next; is there a death or entry on 1871.
