William Wotton Pidgeon was born in 1865 at Ashburton, Devon, the son of Charles Pidgeon a farm labourer. William left Devon in the 1880s, and in 1891 was the Potman at the Roebuck, where his aunt Charlotte Bennett was the beer retailer. He married Nellie Jane Thompson in 1893. In 1901 he was in charge of the Twyford Arms, Islington. *

William Bennett must have died; as Charlotte Bennett married John Hope Turner senior at Croydon in 1887. He must also have died before April 1891. Charlotte�s daughter, Louisa, married his son John Hope Turner junior in 1884, and in 1891 they were running the Queen�s Head at 154 Whitechapel Road (on the corner of Brady Street). *
