Baptism of

6 Nov 1818 Edward John, son of Edward & Sarah Sibley, Publican of the Crown, Blackheath.

From the West Kent Guardian, 5 August 1848.

James Barnes charged with stealing sundry pewter pots, three pint pots the property of Mr Mann, landlord of the "Hare and Billet," Blackheath, and one quart pot, the property of Mr Evans, landlord of the "Crown Tavern," Blackheath.

From an email received 5 March 2016.

Elizabeth Lapraik was landlady of the "Crown Inn," Blackheath SW3 during the 1880s.

Her first husband died in 1883 and Elizabeth remarried, so was Elizabeth Mosley during her occupancy of the "Crown Inn."

On the failure of her second marriage she left the "Crown" between 1898 and 1900, I think, and went back to her birth town of Leicester. She reverted to using her first married name. She is buried here in Halifax.

All around the time of Jack the Ripper and the early Sherlock Holmes!
