Residents at this address

The publicans during the 1850's were the grandparents & parent of the landlord 50 years later; and also listed in the 1861 census here. Rosetta Agar was the mother of Henry A. Rumsey (the middle-initial A stands for Agar.)  Presumably there was some family concern in the Beehive pub for over a 50+ year period. *+
