This is a photo of my Grandmother Isabel Adams (the little girl), her brother Charles William Robert Adams and my Great Grandparents Charles Robert Adams and Isabel (nee Hinchliff) Adams.

This is a photo of my Grandmother Isabel Adams (the little girl), her brother Charles William Robert Adams and my Great Grandparents Charles Robert Adams and Isabel (nee Hinchliff) Adams.

Their marriage in 1886 shows them at 61 Coventry Street, and the 1891 Census shows them  here at the Old Rose. I'm not sure which pub this photo was taken in. On the back of the photo is a stamp that shows, J. Martin, Photographer, Cannon Street Rd, St. Georges. ***

The baptism record of Isabel Edith Adams, in November, 1887 to Charles Robert and Isabel is at the Old Rose.  ***

At earlier dates, Charles and his brother Frank are barmen in 1881 at th Cock, High Street, Whitechapel; and before this at his fathers Pubs, e.g. at the Britannia, Canning Town ***

Charles died in 1894 at the Weymouth Arms, 14 Sayer Street ***
