WHITE HART #
5 Gin Bow Entry
*
Let me give you a few bearings:
Gin Bow Entry stood where Harris Street now stands. The road down the right
of the plan is Lancaster Road. Everything below Gin Bow Entry is now
covered by the Harris Museum and Art Gallery.
Yes, that's right! We had to sacrifice SEVEN or EIGHT pubs, (possibly as many as TEN)
just to make way for the Museum.

1863 - 65 Mrs. Ellen Leeming I'm at Gin Bow Entry (1861) and noticed that
John Leeming's son Robert Leeming has an
unclear middle initial so I checked it on the
birth records and he was Robert L. The L stands
for Lucas and I notice on your site that the
previous innkeeper was Robert Lucas with a
daughter Ellen. She married John Leeming in
Mar 1846, so effectively the Inn was in the
same hands for 24 years. Thanks to Deidre L.

| The Leemings were not the last to make the move from the Anglers'Arms to the White Hart. Peter Longton and his wife made the same move 20 years later. I wonder if there was a closer connection between them? |

My third great grandfather was Richard Shepherd, one of the mine hosts listed above.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that, Vicky.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any family details similar to Census details, that you are willing to share?
It all helps to build up the bigger picture. I have been astounded how many families have been involved with individual pubs - many by marriage - but with changes of name by marriage have made it less obvious.
Steve.
The only census info I have for him is for 1841. He lived in Avenham Road, there was also someone called James Norris at the same address + a servant. He died in 1844 aged 74 and I have a copy of his death notice from 19th Century British Library Newspapers which says: "June 4, suddenly, aged 74, Mr Richard Shepherd, formerly of the White Hart Inn, Preston". His wife Mary died in 1858 aged 85 and lived in Frenchwood Street, her death certificate says she was widow of Richard Shepherd, Proprietor of Houses, which may suggest he was involved with more than one pub. Their only child I know of at the moment was Joseph Shepherd (my second great grandfather), Professor of Music/Musician I'm afraid he possibly enjoyed drinking too much to run a pub! I am hoping to get a copy of Richard's will, which may shed light on if there were any more children, who could possibly have carried on in the pub trade.
