1851/John Shaw Walker, Talbot Commercial Hotel, King Street and Queen street, Wolverhampton,/Melville & Co Directory
From the 1851 Census, I have traced that my G.G.G. Grandfather, John Shaw Walker, was the Hotel Keeper here. His wife Louisa Walker (nee Newell) was also living there with eight other members of staff.
By the 1861, both John & Louisa had moved with their eight children, to another establishment in Misers Row, West Bromwich along with their three House Servants. Not sure if this was a hotel / public house. He is bankrupted in late 1861 in West Bromwich. *
