  • Man in Pub 5 years younger was mine YES

    Remember I asked about how old you had to be to work in a Pub as I thought my rellie was there in Bromley 1901 well it was him
    Only thing is it says married so I sent for two certs which were likely, one was a hunch and yes thats the right one.
    Only thing is that was in 1902 so he wasnt married on the 1901 census
    And she isnt with him on there either , I am wondering why he lied about that too.
    Anyway the exciting news is he worked in The Widows Bun (also called The bun House) the famous one where a widow who lived in a cottage before it was a pub ,cooked a Hot Cross Bun for her returning son, only he never did and she made one each year and kept them, when the pub took over it carried on the tradition .

          I am pleased must say as I wasnt too sure it was going to be him , bit disappointed though as I searched near enough all day for his wife or her father on 1901 and for her birth and found nothing
          Have a feeling she may be using a middle name
