All information supplied by Ian Pidgeon.
A listing of historical public houses, Taverns, Inns, Beer Houses and Hotels in London.
In the late 19th century many members of the Pidgeon family of Kenton, Devon
moved to London, where several of them became beer house keepers, beer
retailers and licensed victuallers. Many of these publicans were husbands of
the women of the Pidgeon family, and their descendants, so that the name of
Pidgeon doesn’t appear very often. They were all descendants of Joseph
Pidgeon and Mary Cossey. Two of their sons, John and Charles moved to
Ashburton, Devon. Following are the children and grandchildren of Joseph and
Mary who were born in Devon and involved in running London pubs:
Mary, (1828–1873) married Henry Payne
Charlotte, (1830–1894) married (1) William Bennett, (2) John Hope Turner senior
