The following entries are in this format:
Year/Publican or other Resident/Relationship to Head and or Occupation/Age/Where Born/Source.
The publicans during the 1850's were the grandparents & parent of the
landlord 50 years later; and also listed in the 1861 census here. Rosetta
Agar was the mother of Henry A. Rumsey (the middle-initial A stands for
Agar.) Presumably there was some family concern in the Beehive pub for
over a 50+ year period. *+
