Your monument shall be my gentle verse
That eyes not yet created shall o'er read
And tongues to be, your being, shall rehearse
When all the breathers of your world are dead
You still shall live, such virtue hath my pen
Where breath most breathes - in mouths of men

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

George Ginn of Ware died 1863

George Ginn was son of Francis in my post of  23rd February 2014 and brother to Frank and William in my last two posts .  He was a Labourer in Hoddesdon for much of his early life, marrying Eliza Saxon at Bengeo, Hertford in 1825.


In 1831 there was a dramatic change, as he became the landlord of the "Angel" pub in Star Lane, Ware, which is still there and I have passed by a few times and which is shown below




George and Eliza passed their married life at the pub, sadly I cannot find any Victorian period photographs of it. I have not researched the couple in any detail.  George died in 1863 aged 62.  Eliza died in 1871 leaving a will with probate to her daughter Eliza Ann.

George and Eliza had eleven children-

Eliza - a spinster, she lived in Ware and died there in 1903 at 78

John - married Ellen Baxter at St Pancras in 1854.  They lived in London and there were at least six children

Ann - married Charles Medlock at St Marylebone in 1866 and died in Hampstead in 1893.

Mary - married James Crane  at Hunsdon in 1851.  Descendants have been in touch.

Charlotte - married John Hull at Paddington in 1859

George - married Mary Charlton at Lambeth in 1870  They lived in Ware and had four children.

Elizabeth - married Edward Bird at St Marylebone in 1861

Joshua James - married Annie Anderson at Ware in 1869.  They lived in Ware and had five children.

William - died infancy.

Sarah - born in 1828 is untraced for sure, but possibly in St Marylebone in 1851 as a servant

Francis Robert - died in infancy
