My Great Great Great Grandfather William Wilson was the licensee here from late 1841 until 1843 (when he went out of business). Then, about six years later, William Wilson's son-in-law (my Great Great Grandfather James Jaques) had taken over the Licence by March 1851 and remained there until he in turn went out of business in 1853! *+
My aforementioned Great Great Grandfather James Jaques was also, the licencee of the Vine, at 25 Minories, from at least 16th November 1847 (his daughter Frances Margaret Jaques was born there) until 17th September 1848 when his licence is recorded as being transferred to William Weston.
James Jaques (1823-1894) was briefly the Licensee of The White Swan in Vauxhall Bridge Road from at least 20th December 1849 (His second daughter Louisa Elizabeth Jaques was born there) until 1850 or perhaps 1851. *+

Bell Tavern in Hounsditch was run by my grandfather, William Lewis until it was destroyed in the Blitz.
He also ran the Red Lion in Fleet Street and his brother, Phineas, ran the Golden Lion in Kings Cross.
My mother worked in all these pubs and had many a tale to tell. ***
