My relative Samuel Mayhew was Publican of the Queens Head, 73 Great Queen
Street for a few years in the early 1830s. He was born in Beccles, Suffolk
circa 1806, then came south and managed several London pubs including the
Three Lords, Minories, and the
Bricklayers Arms, Whitecross Street. He went bust in November 1840. *
The exact dates of his tenure of the Queen’s Head is AT LEAST September 1831
until June 1833. His oldest daughter Ellen was Christened at St Giles on 28
Sept 1831, and the family address was The Queen’s Head. Similarly when his
oldest son Samuel Edward was Christened in St Giles on 16 June 1833, the
address was 73 Great Queen Street, also the address of the pub. *
When his daughter Mary Ann was Christened on 15 November 1835, the address
was 27 Minories, the address of the ‘Three
Lords’. *
