Originally addresses as number 1. Changed name to the "Will Adams" some time in the 1990s.

The 1911 Census shows John Joseph Macdonald as licensee, but it also shows that he also had Harry Marlow age 54 and his wife Emma (nee Usborne) age 50 working there as manager and manageress, and also Maud Harcroft age 28 as servant girl. I am told that Harry was a dock worker in the 1891 and 1901 census, and died later in 1911.

I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from.

All emails are answered.
