In researching my family history, I was aware that my uncle Alfred John (Bill)
Fentiman was a publican in the Greenwich area. Going through the local voters
registers 1956 to 1959 I discovered that he was at, 56, Royal Hill, Greenwich,
with his wife my aunt Eleanore during those years. That address was the
Fox and Hounds and is now called the Greenwich Union. ***
