The February 1892 Petty sessions lists the Vine, London street. Harry Unwin
is the current licensee; Next door to Jolly Waggoner, beerhouse
My Great Grandfather, Thomas James Lewis, ran The Vine Inn in 1901. He married
an Annie Lily Poole (formerly Giles) and a previous landlord was Thomas
Poole, so I have been trying to make a connection. In 1891 (Census) The Vine
Inn was being run by Elizabeth Poole (not Thomas) as she was a widow by
then. Thomas James Lewis’s brother, William John Lewis was the Landlord of
the White Hart,
Ripley in 1891; and the
Royal Albion, Hastings in 1901. ***
Around this time the Lewis family started building a chain of pubs; by 1901,
three of the five siblings were licensed victuallers. The third was Mary
Elizabeth Attfield ( maiden name Lewis) Who ran the
Jericho House, 57
Walton Street, Oxford. Caroline Lewis who was the mother of William, Thomas
and Mary was also living with Mary in 1901. ***
