*The New Baths Inn was owned (on leasehold) by Thomas Tommony, who owned several houses in Melbourne Street in the 1860s. In his Will, dated 10 Oct 1859 he left these houses to his various children. Numbers 22 and 23 Melbourne Street, "in the occupation repectively of Thomas Tommony and William Adams as tenants" were left to his son Edward for his lifetime, on the condition that Edward pay to Edward Pedder Esq. the ground rent for the land on which his eight houses in Melbourne Street and Walker Street were built, that being £10 9s 6d per year.

Thomas and his wife Sarah were born in Ireland and raised a large family in Preston. They had a total of 15 children, including one set of twins and one set of triplets. "On Thursday last, the wife of Thomas Tamony (sic), No. 106 Friargate, was safely delivered of three children, who, like their mother, are doing well." Published in the Preston Chronicle, Sat., 22 Oct 1836. Sadly, six of the children, including the triplets, died in infancy, and another died aged 21 years. They are buried in St Wilfrid's Cemetery.

Thomas Tommony died at his home in Melbourne Street on 13 Jun 1862, aged 64 and was buried in a private grave in Preston Cemetery. His widow Sarah died at 23 Melbourne Street, which I suspect was no longer being used as a beerhouse, on 22 Apr 1867, aged 58 years, and was buried in the family grave with her husband.
