Next door to the Garrick’s Head, pictured during a spell when both buildings were being used as public houses. The gable to the right was the entrance to the Theatre Royal which was rebuilt in 1903, the two old pub buildings were demolished shortly afterwards. Margaret Leach was a granddaughter of Elkanah Wookey, one time proprietor of the King’s Head, Back Street. Her second husband was Paul Herman Eugene Kautz, a German seaman. They had the White Horse, Queen St (Christmas Steps), in 1887, and moved to the Theatre Tavern in 1888. Paul died and in 1896 Margaret became the landlord. She married for a third time to David Lynch, a self-employed boatman, and we see her as landlord under her new name in 1900. This information was kindly provided by Peter Robinson.

Elizabeth left the business to her son who ran it for some years before moving to the Britannia Newfoundland Road. Elizabeth’s Grandson Frederick Goldsworthy married Hannah Oxenham and they had rooms in the Britannia. Elizabeth’s only daughter Louisa Ann Patten Hall was living in Hannah Loneys guest house Bedminster in 1881 with 2 month old Frederick. Louisa Ann died from consumption when her son was 4. Frederick’s Father married again and had a Daughter Gertrude who became a pianist and accompanied Dame Clara Butt in a Concert at the Colston Hall Bristol. When aged 21 Frederick went to live in the Seven Stars and was left some money in his Grandmothers will (she died in 1911)”
