I came across your website on old East End pubs, when I was looking for the other pubs my great x3 grand father had. My grand father was Alfred Weeks, and he was the land lord of the Britannia up until 1983. He inherited it from his mother Louisa who was married to John Weeks - John Weeks' mother Angelina Weeks, formally Hunt was Reuben Hunts third daughter! ***
There is an article and a photograph in the local paper celebrating the 100
year anniversary of it being in the Hunt/Weeks family.....This was in the local paper
in 1976; and I now know that Reuben took over the pub in 1876. He is in
the "Britannia" in 1881, and they are in ''The
British Queen'' on
White Horse Lane in 1871. The historical details that have been passed down by my family are that
Reuben had several daughters, three of which worked in Reuben's pubs. When
Reuben died he left the pubs to his daughters. ***
With this information I found out the following:-
Elizabeth married Coombes and got the ''Old House at Home''.
Angelina got the Brittannia. Her husband Samuel Weeks was deceased. We knew this anyway.
Eliza married George Boustred and got the ''Prince Albert'' on Clark street.
The other two daughter Hepzibah and Ellen married the Walbancke brothers, who were tobacconists! ***
