My great grandfather was the Publican of the "Green Man" pub at Goose Green, Hoddesdon in 1939 ****
Mr George William Crawley is the "Publican" and on the far right of the page it can be seen that he was a retired Prison Warder. He was in fact a prison warder at Pearls Hill, prison in Singapore between 1903 and 1924. His wife, Bertha Crawley (Formerly Steward) also ran the "Apple Tree & Mitre pub at 30 Cursitor Street, St Clement Danes with her parents and family in 1921.
I have no idea of how long they ran the "Green Man" nor do I have any pictures of the couple or the pub, so if you know from where I may be able to obtain some, I would be most grateful.
In Freebmd in September 1925 at Hastings is a marriage noted between a Bertha Steward and a George W Crawley.
In 1939 at the Green Man" Goose Green, Hoddesdon ****
George W Crawley, Publican, born 25 Sep 1876
Bertha Crawley, Unpaid Domestic Duties, born 05 May 1884
