1859/H Williams/../../../Post Office Directory

In 1871, 1881 and 1891 census, the publican was William Welfare. His first wife was Kesiah Steer, who he married in 1862, and I suspect they took over the pub some time after that; by the 1871 census Kesiah had died. In 1877, William married Catherine Martha Ward (my grandfather's sister) and the couple are running the pub in 1881. They are still there in 1891, but Catherine Martha Welfare died in 1898, and I think William then gave up the pub, as he is no longer there in 1901. William died in 1902. *

William Welfare of the Neptune Hove: His probate in 1902 was granted to Edward Welfare engineer (son by his first marriage) and James Ansell, draper. William's second wife Catherine Martha Ward was related to James Ansell, who was the brother of the George Ansell of the Windmill on Clapham Common. The family connections also extend to the Frederick French who ran the Bridge Hotel in Uckfield and the Henry James Walker who ran the Joiners Arms in Bethnal Green. Catherine Martha Ward, James and George Ansell, Frederick French and Henry Walker were all descendents of my great great grandfather James Ward. *

I have found that William's brother Richard Welfare was also a publican, at the Freemasons Tavern, Hastings. *
