Joseph John Steward was my paternal great grand father. My paternal grand
father Stephen Henry Steward was born at
123 Well Street, Hackney on 4th
September 1891 his fathers occupation was Licensed Victualler; he died in
1962.
Ernest George Ovenden who is referred to as the proprietor in 1910 & 1915
married my great grand mother Eliza Susannah Steward (nee Johnson) after she
was widowed by the death of Joseph John Steward.
I have a large group family photo taken I am informed at the “Green Dragon”
(looks to possibly be in the back yard!) of the Wedding Party following my
my grand fathers marriage on 11th May 1913 to my grand mother Jessie Steward
(nee Hobbs). Interestingly on their marriage certificate his address is
given as 95 Well Street (Butcher) and her address as 123 Well Street
(Spinster) ? At the time of their wedding both their fathers were already
deceased but both mothers still living and in the group photo referred to
earlier.
Subsequently for quite a few years (until his death in 1962) my grand father
Stephen Henry Steward was the proprietor of “The Castle”, 100 Holland Park
Avenue, London W11 & he also at the same time owned and ran under management
what was “Morrells” (Butchers), 96 Holland Park Avenue, London W11. His
siblings were Joe Steward (who also later was a publican), Jack Steward (who
I understand died in 1917 possibly in WW1) and Ada Steward (who I think also
later was a publican).
As regards further info on the careers as publicans of both Joe ( one near
harbour in Ramsgate possibly amongst others) & Ada (amongst possibly others
“Warwick Castle”, Little Venice, that I used to visit as a kid). Joe was at
the Harp, Ramsgate in 1922 at
the birth of his daughter, and after at the
Shipwrights Arms,
Ramsgate. ***
