.....my great grandfather Frederick Hague worked at? I am assuming it was in Kensington and Chelsea at the beginning of 1900.

Unlikely that you can find out. Unless he was live-in and still working there in the 1901 census.

If he was a barman/cellarman I doubt very much you could find anything, Fiona,as these jobs were easy found.......if he held the licence , ie the landlord and anything major happened at the place that a report made the newspaper then there is a slim chance he is named,,,,,

A search of online London newspapers hasnt thrown his name up.

I suspect that Fiona probably had that detail from the 1901 census. She was asking which public house. But he had not been a barman for long.......

Both names are in a GR tree.

I posted it for INFO, as very little had been given

And I managed to read the question Fiona asked, despite the lateness of the hour

Thanks for that link.
One of my family groups were the Kensington area from 1830's to 1930's. On your link I note the King of Prussia was then at 55 High Street. Some 50 years earlier one of my family died in that pub. Cause of death shows as "Fell down at the Bar of the King of Prussia and died suddenly."
(Way to go!!!!!!!!!!)
The address was then No. 27. Likely that the pub did not relocate, rather that the High Street was renumbered.

Jacqueline,
Yes, info indeed. My first post was a direct comment to Fiona. But after reading your subsequent post I looked at the 1901 image. And then for the wedding. So this chap had three jobs in just over 12 years. I think that would be considered as 'par for the course' for a non-professional?

Hello Fiona and welcome to the Community boards.



(I'll let Fiona know that she has replies to her query) :-)

Thank you for the information. I do have the 1901 census. I didnt realise he was previously a fish dealer. Thank you all I have other FB accounts but have not done genealogy for a few years now and accidently renewed my subscription on the wrong account.

Not sure If any GR people can help me with this.

You could try emailing them. [email protected]. But I doubt if anybody at GR willing be working until monday.

Fish dealer is the wording on their marriage record. But as he was just 23 I would not read too much into that term.

The main trade of my Kensington group was fish, and in the various census returns they nearly all are listed as fishmonger (including the one mentioned previously). My handed-down records/letters/etc. show that there was at least one shop in the family, but that the fish were also hawked around the 'big houses'.

So I doubt that he was bulk buying at Billingsgate. More likely buying a tray-full, or even just a few, and hawking them.

Edit.
Within the trade, fish was sold by the stone. (14lb)

Thank you all for your help
