<p>This notice was found on a visit to the Exeter Library a few years ago. It relates to the letting of the Hare and Hounds Inn of Witheridge in 1858 &#8211; only a few years before my WREFORDs inhabited it in 1861.  Perhaps the WREFORDs took over this letting in 1858?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After receiving an email asking whether Drusilla WREFORD (the 14 year old innkeeper originally mentioned in my post <a href="https://geneageek.com/pub-crawl/">Pub Crawl</a>) met her husband, Thomas WILLS on the voyage to NZ, I delved further into this family.  It was a good question and one I hadn&#8217;t really thought of since she was not my direct ancestor and I have so much to research on my genealogical plate.  However, my curiosity was piqued and I donned my detective cap to find out more.</p>
<div>
<p>After some apparent hard times, George &amp; Harriet WREFORD, who had <a href="https://geneageek.com/commercial-inn/"><del>apparently run the Hare &amp; Hounds Inn</del></a> run the Commercial Inn in Witheridge, Devonshire (c1861), emigrated with their 8 surviving children to New Zealand aboard the Bombay on the 26 Nov 1864.  Sadly, their youngest daughter, Mary Ann died on the voyage, aged 2.</p>
<div>
<p>My first step was to consult the 1864-5 passenger list for the Bombay voyage these WREFORDS took and funnily enough there was a Thomas WILLS on board aged 23.  Drusilla was 17 at the time so quite possible they could meet and take a fancy to one another.  Or perhaps they were already betrothed before leaving England?  I diverted course to search for Thomas on the UK censuses but without having any more information about him abandoned that search and turned instead to the fabulous NZ <a href="http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/">Papers Past</a> website.</p>
<div>
<figure style="width: 204px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" href="https://geneageek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/505f6-augustadrusillasarahneewreford.jpg"><img decoding="async" src="https://geneageek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/505f6-augustadrusillasarahneewreford.jpg?w=192" alt="" width="204" height="320" border="0" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Sisters Augusta, Drusilla and Sarah Grace nee WREFORD</figcaption></figure>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Although I was initially searching for marriage notices, most of my day has since been spent reading the articles and snippets which mention my ancestors and their neighbours, revisiting old avenues of research and getting to know the other members of this family.  My search also led me to the <a href="http://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/">NZ Births, Deaths &amp; Marriages online</a> where I was able to locate the WREFORD sisters&#8217; marriages (or at least their registration numbers).</div>
<div></div>
<figure style="width: 400px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" href="https://geneageek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/d269d-bdmonline.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://geneageek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/d269d-bdmonline.png?w=300" alt="" width="400" height="110" border="0" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">WREFORD sister marriages including Drusilla&#8217;s to Thomas WILLS</figcaption></figure>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So proof that 14 year old innkeep, Drusilla married <i>somebody</i> called Thomas WILLS.  The 1865 marriage made it seem likely but there was still no real evidence to suggest it was the same Tom on the Bombay with the family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div>
<figure style="width: 320px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" href="https://geneageek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/46161-drusillawreford1847deathnotice.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://geneageek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/46161-drusillawreford1847deathnotice.png?w=300" alt="" width="320" height="82" border="0" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Drusilla&#8217;s Death Notice (also mentions sister Sarah Grace)</figcaption></figure>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Until&#8230; serendipity stepped in.  Tweaking the newspaper search words to &#8216;bombay&#8217; and &#8216;wreford&#8217; led me to the obituary notice for Drusilla in the Auckland Star (Volume LXV, Issue 140, 15 June 1934, p3).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div>
<figure style="width: 307px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" href="https://geneageek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/f9a00-drusillawrefordwillsobituary1932aucklandstar15june1934.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://geneageek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/f9a00-drusillawrefordwillsobituary1932aucklandstar15june1934.png?w=288" alt="" width="307" height="320" border="0" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Obituary Notice for Drusilla WILLS (nee WREFORD)</figcaption></figure>
<blockquote class="tr_bq"><p>The death occurred on June 13 at Onehunga of Mrs. Drucilla Wills, aged 89 years.  She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Wreford, and came to New Zealand with them when a child in the ship Bombay.  <b><span style="color: #38761d;">Her late husband, Mr. Thos.

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>
<div>On the night of the 1861 census, in the Devonshire village of Witheridge, 14 year old Drusilla WREFORD was recorded as head of the household and her occupation as &#8216;Innkeeper ?&#8217; (note the question mark). Also in the household were 4 siblings aged 7 and under (including my direct ancestor, Augusta Harriet), and a 17 year old servant, Emily CHERITON. Their parents, George and Harriet, were nowhere to be seen. I knew they weren&#8217;t dead, as George WREFORD and his family emigrated to New Zealand in 1864. So where were they?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<figure style="width: 400px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="https://geneageek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/70e6b-wreford1861.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://geneageek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/70e6b-wreford1861.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="400" height="77" border="0" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">12 Fore Street, Witheridge &#8211; 1861 census</figcaption></figure>
</div>
<div>This remained a mystery for some time until a chance search led me to discover that George WREFORD was in jail for bankruptcy at the time (you can read my post about that discovery <a href="https://geneageek.com/ancestor-found-almost/">here</a> and <a href="https://geneageek.com/curious-george/">here</a>). I still haven&#8217;t been able to locate the parents on the 1861 census but I&#8217;m still keen to find out more about the business.</div>
<p>George was recorded on bankruptcy notices as an innkeeper, butcher and farmer but I haven&#8217;t been able to discover <em><strong>which</strong></em> inn George (and Drusilla) was keeping.</p>
<div>On my last visit to Witheridge (I&#8217;ve been twice), I picked up the &#8216;Witheridge Village Trail &amp; Local Walks&#8217; pamphlet which mapped some of the pubs (old and current) in the village.  Armed with this pamphlet, I used Google Maps to pinpoint the pub locations.</div>
<div></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<figure style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="https://geneageek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/fcffe-witheridgepubmap.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://geneageek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/fcffe-witheridgepubmap.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="650" height="552" border="0" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Witheridge Pub Locations</figcaption></figure>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>
<div>Assuming the family lived in/above the inn being kept, the map indicates the pub was the Hare and Hounds (in Fore Street).  According to the pamphlet, &#8220;it burnt out in 1995 and was rebuilt&#8221;.  I was able to find this picture of the Hare &amp; Hounds Inn circa 1955 from the excellent <a href="http://www.witheridge-historical-archive.com/">Historical Witheridge</a> site:</div>

<p>I&#8217;m now in the process of trying to find a directory closer to 1861 which will hopefully attach George&#8217;s name to the correct pub.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><b>UPDATE</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #008000;"><b>I have found evidence that they actually kept the Commercial Inn &#8211; see post <a style="color: #008000;" href="https://geneageek.com/commercial-inn/">here</a></b></span></p>
</div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="color: #008000;">Next Steps:</span></div>
<ul>
<li>
<div><span style="color: #008000;">check for 1860 directories</span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">obtain a copy of  &#8216;Researching Brewery and Publican Ancestors&#8217; by Simon Fowler for more information</span></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
