In the freebmd of 1862, there is a marriage between a Rebecca Craft and
William Henry Billers. Rebecca Billers, aged 69, died 2 January 1869 at "The
Crown and Sceptre". She was a victualler by occupation. (Taken from her
Probate notice.) *+
My great great grandparents were "licensed victuallers" and on their
probates for both in 1878 it said
"late of The Woolpack, Bermondsey". For how long they were therefore running
it is not clear. Names: Robert and Rebecca WINTER. He was born 1831 Roecliffe, Yorkshire and she was born 1827 Bethnal Green.
Spookily, they both died on the 12th of the month, he aged 47 in June 1878
and she aged 50 exactly three months later in September. *+
