Five Ink Horns, 31 & 32 New Nichol Street, Bethnal Green

Bethnal Green pub history index

A listing of historical public houses, Taverns, Inns, Beer Houses and Hotels in Bethnal Green, Middlesex - now in East London. The Bethnal Green, East London listing uses information from census, Trade Directories and History to add licensees, bar staff, Lodgers and Visitors.

The following entries are in this format:

Year/Publican or other Resident/Relationship to Head and or Occupation/Age/Where Born/Source.

The father of an ancestor of mine operated the Five Inkhorns Public House at Shoreditch from 1826 until at least April 1831. During this period, the licensee's name was William Wood. For the period 1826 to 1829 the record of Licensed Victuallers, Tower Division will confirm this. I obtained this document from London Metropolitan Archive. I can add a couple more years as follows.

Wood's son, who was also named William, was tried at the Old Bailey in April 1831 charged with stealing linen and in evidence he stated "I live with my father who keeps the Five Inkhorns Public House in Shoreditch". Found guilty he was and transported for 7 years. When he arrived in Tasmania he married and had a son but died soon after in 1837. Unfortunately he left no records of his 'family line' in England.

I am having the greatest difficulty tracing my ancestor's family line in England and would greatly appreciate anything about William Wood; e.g., when left the pub (perhaps he sold to Brampton) and where he went to after that.
