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.
