I have reference to this pub from the Kentish Gazette or Canterbury Chronicle September 1768, when the paper advertised the sale of household furniture at Minster Abbey, on the Isle of Sheppey. It was stated that catalogues could be obtained from this public house. See Notes of 1768.

 

Kentish Gazette, Tuesday 17th February 1835.

Sheerness.

On Tuesday and inquest was held at the "Marlborough Head," in the Garrison at Sheerness, before Robert Hinde, Esq., coroner, on the body of Joshua Garlick, a private soldier belonging to the 84th regiment, now lying at this place, who put an end to his existence on Monday morning by throwing himself off the battery wall into the sea. He was not found till quite dead.

The deceased had recently been exceedingly intemperate; had quarrelled with his wife, and in a fit of desperation drowned himself.

Verdict:- Temporary Insanity.

 

Local knowledge, pictures, and licensee information would be appreciated.

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.
