Can anyone help decipher this please?
« on: Saturday 17 December 11 22:15 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I'm trying to decipher some names and dates from a licensing record book for the North Aylesford Division in Kent. The licence refers to the Swan Public house in Brompton from 1914-22.

The landlord had been Cecil John Robins up until his death on the western front in 1918 [Private T/265247 Cecil John ROBINS. 1st Battalion, The Buffs (East Kent Regiment). Died 2nd August 1918. Born and resided Old Brompton. Enlisted Chatham. Buried Abeele Aerodrome Military Cemetery, Poperinge, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium. Grave reference II.C.16.]

He had married Elizabeth Constance W Elliott in 1910.

Attached is the section dealing with "Transferee, New Tenant or Occupier" & "Date of Tansfer"

So far I think I have:

(? ? ? ? ? ? 23/4/19 ? ? ? ? ? ?)
Elizth Constance Winifred   1919
   Moody formr Robins            March 6
Ernest Barnes Moody                 1920
                                               May 11
Brompton, Kent, Levick, Sales, Lewis, Rudman, Saunders

Hi there, I think the date on the first line is 23/4/14 rather than 23/4/19

I agree that the date is "23/4/14".

It looks like "Elizth Constance Winifred Robins" was written, and then the curly bracket after her name refers to the inscription "or Moody" above this, and next to the date.  Afterwards, someone has written "Moody formerly…" before "Robins".

The date in the other column looks to be "1917" (rather than 1919).

Cheers  :)

FreeBMD has Ernest B MOODY marriage to Elizabeth ROBINS in Jun qtr 1919, Medway, which would fit with the first line being married 23/4/19.

She took over the licence on 6 March 1917 as Elizth Constance Winifred Robins. Agree with what Prue says that someone has written 'Moody formerly' afterwards in front of the Robins name.
