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

I have always known that my great, great grandfather, John Havens, was a shoemaker, and his occupation is stated thus on the 1841, 1851, and 1861 census returns, but I have just discovered that it seems likely that for a short time he ran the Brewer's Arms in Wivenhoe. He was born around 1816 and died on 25th January 1871. In the 1871 census the address of his widow, Mary Havens, is given as " High Street, Brewers Arms" and "beerhouse keeper" is given as her occupation. *

August 1869/John Havens, beer house keeper, of Wyvenhoe, was summoned for having his house open for sale of beer during prohibited hours on the 5th July. He is quoted as stating that "my son has been made a Forester today, and we have asked a few friends to supper". Case dismissed./Newspaper article *
