Brewery Brighton

[Murrell]

Wow I'm so impressed with the replies you have all made. The census and marriage certs does not state address of which brewery. Thank you so much I now have something to work on.

Anyone know answer to my second question re- Preece's Buildings, the location?

This site is excellent, such knowledgeable folk

I have another question too, Where was the Preece's Buildings located again in Brighton.

Church Street

Hi Murrell

Rosie has already given you the answer to your query about Preece's Buildings - you must have missed it in the flood of replys

I think you may have missed Rosie's answer to the Preece's Buildings query. 
After referring to your message, she gave you a link to a photograph of the site and simply wrote:

oh so sorry Rosie to have missed location of Preece's Buildings. I was excited at all the replies.
I have a very smiley face today 

I wondered what photograph was referring to. I'm so Dizzy think I need to change from Murrell to Dizzy LOL

It might be worth looking through the records for Brighton pubs at www.pubhistory.com - you might find your ancestors listed under one of the census or Piggott references.  I've found this a most valuable site for some of my ancestors who ran pubs in Hastings and Lewes and in Oxfordshire.  The site used to be called deadpubs.co.uk

Have a look at "Historical Directories" -
http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/findbykeyword.asp

To search (drop down menus), "location" = Sussex, "decade" = 1900s, "key name" = Kelly. In "own keywords" enter 786.

Should deliver "Kelly's Directory of Sussex 1905" - click on "Directory" and click on "Next hit". Should be seeing page 786 with a list of Sussex Breweries

Good morning all and thank you for the may reponses. I took a look at the site Rosie mentioned and when viewing Preece's Buildings there is a cart shown to the left of the photo. The lettering is showing part of the name Humphrey, my husbands paternal g.grandfather was a fisherman with a boat and from what I can understand they had a seashell stall on the front at Brighton. Double whammy wow.
Regarding the brewery the family only worked there, and I have no evidence as yet that any of them ran a pub.

You never know, they might have done so.  The pubhistory site does contain census records for the pubs and in each case lists all people who were living there.
