1878/Marriage between Walter Wall & Laura Pauline Barnard in Hardingstone,
Northamptonshire
I am currently researching one of the 19th century landlords of the Fishery
Inn, called Walter & Laura WALL. They took over the Fishery either in the
second half of 1879 or early 1880; and were certainly there during the 1881
Census on 3rd April. Three weeks later, on 27th April Walter WALL shot
himself in the head with a pistol. There was an inquest at the inn on the
same day, headed by the Coroner for Hertfordshire, Henry DAY (source: Death
Certificate)
Mrs Laura WALL is recorded as "proprietor" in the 1882 Post Office
Directory, but this could have been out of date by the time it went to
print. She was a young widow of French origin with two very young children.
She may have returned to France soon afterwards as her husband's estate was
by no means substantial. *

My grandparents ran the Fishery Inn , Alexander Finnie and my grandmother
was Elizabeth Finney. My mother was born in the Fishery Inn in 1915, and is
still alive, and now lives in South Africa. I think my grandfather left the
pub around 1920 and came to SA. His father ran the
Halfway House in Bovingdon, William Garden Finnie.

Swiss Cottage,
to take on their first tenancy. However having been used to Central London
locations could not settle into what was then a country area. The Brewer was
Chesham and Brackley. ***
