Thomas John William Terry was the licensee at the "Green
Man", Halliday Walk (later Mildmay Street) in 1915-1917. He also
had the "Carlton Tavern",
which he took over in 1918. He was the licensee at "Foresters
Arms" Loughton in 1918 (where his first wife Elsie died). Then he was
the licensee at the "Gower Arms" Store Street
in 1923, and the licensee in 1925 - 1926 at the
Denbigh Arms,
Denbigh Place, with his second wife Florence Ellen. When Thomas John William
Terry died in 1930 (aged 41), the probate shows him at the "Beaumont
Arms" Uxbridge Road. I am not sure whether his second wife Florence
Ellen continued there. He was my Grandmother Carnaby's Brother. *
