Ethel (1882-1973) was my maternal grandmother she married William Mereweather in 1915.
In the 1911 census she was listed as a barmaid in The Anchor a pub in Harwich (Essex).
Why she went there I guess we will never know, however, a bit of family gossip suggests that there may have been a "liaison" with a famous nautical figure!
I've never been able to find anything, before I give up I just thought I'd post..
CORRECTION
I've just been told that I've got the pub & location wrong. Apparently it was some years earlier and it should have been The Weymouth Hotel in Weymouth.
