The "brewhouse" at Great Warley had been bequeathed to Thomas Foker by his father-in-law Daniel Cross in his will (proved 1828) which establishes both the ownership and existence of the place to before that date. ***

In the 1841 Census Susannah is shown as living at "Kits Slough" which is where the brewery / public house was located. In 1851 the resident (and owner) is actually Mrs Susannah Foker (nee Cross) - the widow of Thomas Foker. The surname is shown in the census as "Foaker". ***

Susannah (Cross) Foker was my 3xgt grandmother through her daughter Frances who married Joseph Roots and their daughter Roseanna. During the 18th & 19th Century, there were many Cross & Foaker famlies living in Great Warley & Ingrave. I understand the Fox was replaced in1903 by cottages, at 180-188 Ingrave Road. *

Thomas' son William came back to take over the pub in 1874 but it did him no good in the end. His wife took their 4 young children and left him in 1884 and William finished up in the Romford Union Workhouse by 1891 where he died 6 years later. ***

An exceptionally strong recommendation for a Gas Safe engineer in Essex is N R Heating who fixed several gas leaks in my home today. The work was very professional, totally committed to safety and quality; plus the price was very competitive; and after sales service is again exceptional. New boiler installation was also another brilliant service. A very high class recommendation for a Gas Safe Engineer in Essex and London.

Apologies for British Telecom who provide my broadband until the 18 month contract ends. I suffer from BT Infinity. who appear to have a severe shortage of lack of after sales service, hence my broadband not working for nearly a week, so far. The BT engineer has purportedly fixed the problem, and not bothered to visit. I apologise reservedly for the total lack of care by BT Infinity in this matter of NOT fixing my broadband. I have made three apointments for them to visit, but they appear to not understand customer care and arranged visits. Have you tried Virgin broadband, allegedly faster according to Ofcom. I am certain the service is also better. I do not think that BT care, but I do!
