Pubs of Hockley/Newtown

He seemed to get about a bit.

I think that the Landlords name was William Underwood and wife Violet so may not be the same person.
Them Underwood got about a bit!
Thank you for the research anyway.

 

[MWS]

James was William's father.

 

[BigJohn]

Well thank you. I must tell my friend Margaret about it all.

Does anyone know the name of the pub that was almost opposite Harry Lucas School in Farm St Hockley please.
I can't remember it and it's driving me nuts.
Thanks in anticipation

No mention of pub landlord James Underwood in 1910 Kellys
In 1913 Kellys (referring probably to 1912) James Underwood was at the New Inns
In 1915 Kellys (probably referring to 1914), James was at the Coach & horses, 93 Spring Hill
In 1921 and 1924 Kellys (probably referring to 1920 and 1923 respectively) James was at the Frighted Horse...

Hello, I am doing some research on my family background. Do you know the name of James's wife? It is my understanding that he had a son called William and his wife was Violet, do you know if there was any more syblings?

any information would be muchly appreciated!

Kind regards, Brooke
