James Conway and Louisa Conway
Both kindly provided by Chris Manning
My Great-Grandfather, James Conway took over the pub c.1890,and lived there
with his wife, Louisa; and children Florence and Edward, until his death at
age 32,in 1895. Louisa suicided in 1896 because of this. James was born in
Gaston St, East Bergholt. ***
James elder sister Harriet married Joseph Taylor, they can be found at the
Red Lion St Osyth; she was an outgoing
and spirited girl, and apparently,and her nickname was 'Happy'. ***
Jim was also the omnibus driver for The Red Lion
Hotel, and was held in enormous respect by all the bus and cab-drivers
in the town. ***
