Ernest Easty behind the bar at his pub. He is probably around age 35, the time of the 1901 census when he was running the Ship Afloat.
Kindly provided by Lawrence Atkins
My great-grandfather Ernest Easty was landlord of the "Ship Afloat" pub
in Lower Thames Street at the time of the 1901 census. It is correct
that Ernest's wife Annie Easty was born in Russia - her father had
worked on railway construction there. They are licensees at the
Horns, Crucifix lane
about the time of the 1911 census. In 1896, at the baptism of their
daughter Julia Easty, he was the publican at the
Bricklayers Arms,
Upper Fenton street, St George in the East, and a year later he is a
grocer at 57 Lisson grove, in 1898. *
William Easty, who was licensee of the
Red Lion and Punch Bowl
in Clerkenwell in March 1866, was the father of Ernest Easty who ran the
Ship Afloat in Lower Thames street in 1901. *
