Memorial inscription - if any Link to daughter Elizabeth Rose http://www.genealogistsforum.co.uk/f...ad.php?t=14809 I only found Elizabeth Rose's baptism last week and haven't had to time to fully investigate this family. I'm hoping that Elizabeth's sisters may have taken in her children on her death! There is a marriage licence on FMP which might have more information, I expect I'll have to fork out £10 and keep my fingers crossed.

I've just found a second marriage for William which I've added above. She died in 1793 and is also buried in Holy Trinty, Clapham.
She was an Elizabeth Cullimore - one of his daughters (Elizabeth Rose) sisters in law (Elizabeth Sadd) married a John Cullimore! Off to see if I can find the relationship!

William Greenwood may have been at the Three Goats Head public house, Wandsworth Road.

Maryphil - thanks for all the possible info. According to his Will William seems to have died without male heirs so I doubt that these Greenwoods are his direct descendents but worth keeping on the back burner!
Shona - I'm intrigued as to why you think the Three Goats Head pub would have been his rather than any other?

Sue - I think that I found a reference to a William Greenwood of the Three Goats Heads on the London Lives website.
The location of the pub at the Nine Elms end of Wandsworth Road would have been in the Vauxhall area. Last edited by Shona; 08-12-13 at 12:18. |

Thanks Shona, I had looked at London Lives and missed that article! By using the metaphone option for his first name several other articles come up too, mostly with reference to St Thomas Hospital. I'm not entirely sure whether he was a patient each time or perhaps paying for someone else?
Anyway Three Goats Head tavern is another research avenue!

William Greenwood also used the Sun Fire Insurance Office to insure The Three Goats Heads in 1792.
The John Cullimore mentioned earlier (married to William's daughter's sister in law and possibly related to William's second wife!) was the publican at the Elephant and Castle, Vauxhall in 1798 (Insurance records) and his wife mentions it in her will in 1848. My Sarf London geography is appalling - is that the Elephant and Castle or were there many pubs of that name?

The following is pasted together from various bits and bobs turned up by Google. The first mention of the pub under the name of the Elephant and Castle comes in a document dated 21 March 1765 in which the Manor of Walworth ordered the landlord, Mr Frost, to carry out repairs on this property. A bill of fares shows that there probably was already a pub on this location about 10 years before that. Previously the site was occupied by a blacksmith and cutler – the coat of arms of the Worshipful Company of Cutlers features an elephant with a castle/howdah on its back. Ivory was, of course, used to make cutlery handles. In Georgian times (1816), the building was pulled down and rebuilt in a grander, more fashionable style. In 1898, the building was once more redeveloped. The Elephant and Castle pub was a prominent landmark until 1959 when it was demolished to make way for the redevelopment of the whole area. It had, however, sustained bomb damage in the Second World War. Shakespeare mentions the Elephant in Twelfth Night. In Act 3 Scene 3, Antonio says: 'In the south suburbs, at the Elephant, is best to lodge.' Although the play is set in Illyria in the Balkans, Shakespeare often used local London references. The theatres were in nearby Southwark, so this may be an early example of product placement advertising. |
