Hutchinson Publican's son

[Rubyretro]

I'm not disappointed at all, Lechmere !

A big 'Thank You' once again !

So...what do you know know about 'The Ambassador' and 'The Coach and Horses' ?

Have you found anything else out about this George ???

Here is the 1861 census – it is a bit fuzzy.
It shows they were actually living at 43 King David Lane in Shadwell. I presume the numbers 4 and 3 were transposed on the baptismal record.
43 was the address of the Crooked Billet.
The household consists of:
Joseph Hutchinson aged 41 a licensed victualler, born in Yorkshire.
Hannah Hutchinson his wife aged 25, also born in Yorkshire.
Clara Hutchinson, a daughter aged 3, born in Islington
Mary, another daughter aged 2 and also born in Islington
George Hutchinson, aged 1, born in Shadwell
This tells us they only moved to Shadwell from Islington shortly before the birth of George.

Joseph Hutchinson married Hannah Mallinson on 22nd July 1857.
They were apparently living together at the time of the marriage at 1 York Road (now 60 York Way) and the ceremony took place in Islington Parish Church (St Mary’s on Upper Street).
Joseph was a publican and his father, Richard, had been a labourer.
Hannah’s father, George, had been a farmer.

The pub at 1 York Road was called the Ambassador and was run by Joseph’s brother John Hutchinson.

On 10th December 1859 their third child was born. He was baptised George on 6th January 1860.
By now the family had moved from north London to the East End and lived at 34 King David Lane.
Father Joseph wads a licensed victualler – a publican.
The baptism took place in St Paul’s church, Shadwell. It is just across The Highway from King David’s Lane.

St Paul’s Shadwell was rebuilt in 1820, paid for by the Church Building Act of 1818, which was designed to ensure that enough churches were available in the newly expanding urban population centres. It had been known as the Church of Sea Captains as it was near the docks – and Captain Cook worshiped in the earlier church building.

There were two pubs on King David Lane – one at the Cable Street end and one at The Highway end.
That part of The Highway that was in Shadwell parish was then called Shadwell High Street. The continuation in the parish of St George’s in the East being called St George Street. Previously it had all been called Ratcliff Highway.
At the Cable Street end was the Crooked Billet, while at the High Street end was the Coach and Horses.
Joseph’s pub was the Crooked Billet.
This pub was on a corner and there was only a tiny rear yard. This will disappoint those who were hoping that it might be a coaching inn!
