William Howard born 1825 was a builder / contractor, licensed victualler and
publican. He was married twice first to Matilda Green and is recorded on
your site as Publican of the Fleur de Lys, Rochester Road, Burham, Kent in
1858 which is where their daughter Elizabeth was born in 1854. Williams
birthplace is unclear brother John residing with them and a few doors down
is their brother Joseph. After the death of William’s first wife he lived
with my great great grandmother (no marriage found) Sarah Hannah Haddon, who
adopted his surname, and renamed her son (my great grandfather) who started
out as George Barker and then became a Howard in later documents (it took me
years to untangle this lot!!). In 1871 William is listed as a Licensed
Victualler residing in Anchor Lane, Worthing, W Sussex. Possibly residing in
a pub of the same name but the census does not make that clear. I know he is
advertised as a Contractor in the 1879 Worthing Street Directory . In the
1900’s they are residing in Alexandra Terrace in the Directory but are also
recorded at Marine Place.
