On my great great grandfather's birth certificate, it states that he
(Frederick Newton) was born on 29th April 1859 at The Rising Sun, Vernon
Street, Fulham. His father was John Newton, licensed victualler, born in
Braceby, Lincs (abt 1817) and his mother was Ann Newton (nee Tuffnell). ***
Two years later (1861) John and Ann were running the
Prince Albert in Sherborne Street, Marylebone. ***
According to the 1861 census, the landlord (licensed victualler) that year
was my great great grandfather Alexander Jackson. As he was in fact a master
tailor we assume his wife Louisa actually ran the pub. Don't know how long
they stayed there but they had moved on by 1871. *+

The Pidgeon Family :
The Rising Sun, at 1 Vernon Street, is being run by Emma Payne in 1881. She
was born Emma Pidgeon at Kenton, Devon in 1840. In 1863 she married Charles
Tucker, and they had a daughter Mary Ann in 1865. Two years later Charles
died. Emma's sister Mary had married Henry Payne and they had been running
the Red Lion at 81
Paradise Street, Rotherhithe when Mary died in 1873. Two years later Emma
married her sister's widower, and it was she and Henry Payne who were at the
Rising Sun in Fulham when Henry died shortly before the 1881 census. *
Contrary to what is shown in the 1881 census, I believe the 25-year-old Emma
Payne was the elder Emma's niece, another Emma Pidgeon (born at Ashburton,
not Kenton), and Mary Ann was really Mary Ann Tucker, Emma's daughter from
her first marriage. In 1883 the younger Emma Pidgeon married a cabinet maker
Thomas Gundry. Both gave their address as 1 Vernon Street, Fulham on the
marriage record. *
In 1891 Thomas and Emma Gundry were at the
Somerset Arms, 17
Passmore Street. *

Mary Payne must be Mary Pidgeon (n�e Cossey), Emma Payne�s mother who died
in 1898 at 29 Brady Street, Whitechapel � the
Roebuck, which was being
managed at that time by Emma. *
