DURHAM FAMILY HISTORY

DURHAM PUBS

PUBS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DURHAM FAMILY [1] PUBS - IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER OF PLACE [2] PEOPLE - HOW THEY MOVED AROUND

IT IS NOT CLEAR WHETHER THEY OWNED THE PUBS, OR WERE JUST MANAGERS/TENANTS, BUT JUDGING BY HOW THEY MOVED AROUND, THE LATTER SEEMS MORE LIKELY, ALTHOUGH SOMEONE, EG. JACOB DURHAM I, MAY ALSO HAVE OWNED SOME – WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THE TERM “PROPRIETOR OF HOUSES” MEANS EXACTLY

SOME FACTS: · Most pubs were tied and owned by a brewery. They paid for refurbishment. This does not mean that the Durhams were tenants. The fact that the family seem to have run several, could indicate ownership of the premises Under the Wellington Beer Act 1830, any "upstanding ratepayer" could get a licence in perpetuity, unless he was guilty of running a disorderly house. This led to the proliferation of small pubs. This indicates that they were reasonably rich as they must have paid rates · Jacob Durham I had land dealings in Lee, Kent in 1832 and 1852, and Charles Jacob Durham in 1867, together with his brother-in-law, William Steward · The four 2^nd and 3^rd generation pub keepers – Alexander William James, Charles Jacob, William Jacob Smith, Charles John I - died on average at less than 48 years old – is this significant? · Charles Jacob’s youngest surviving son, Frederick Evan, had a son Edgar Sydney, who owned an off-licence, the Capel Arms, 16 Barwick Road, Forest Gate, Essex – he was in the telephone directory at that address 1936-52, but this is probably an isolated case, not connected with the main Durham pub business · John Stanley Durham’s eldest daughter, born 1920 (so William Jacob Smith Durham’s great-granddaughter), told the author in FEB 2013 that, as a child, let's say about 1930, she was taken to a pub in Lewisham? to see her grandfather (Charles William Durham II)'s, first she said brother, but it couldn't have been, so we settled for, "relations" – author’s comment: the area, Lewisham, is right, but as far as I can calculate, the Durham pub business was long since finished - as far as I can see, the last Durham in the business, Charles John Durham I, died in 1895, and doesn't seem to have had any children – therefore it may be that some of the generation after William Jacob Smith Durham / Charles John Durham I ran a pub(s), possibly independently of the original former Durham pub business

Charles Jacob doesn’t seem to have left a will – perhaps he died unexpectedly, as he was only 55 – and Letters of Administration were granted to the firm of John & William Nicholson, Distillers, so perhaps he died in debt: there is a court case in 1871, brought by John Edward Meek, a copartner in John & William Nicholson, and there is a notice from the latter’s solicitors, dated March 1871, addressed to any of Charles Jacob’s creditors

The following has been found online: Nicholson’s pubs have a rich historical past, stretching back to an 18th century family of Clerkenwell gin distillers. Two descendants of that family, John and William Nicholson, decided to found ‘their own houses’ offering impeccable hospitality, excellent food and the finest drinks. Over two hundred years later, each of the Nicholson’s pubs still has its own fascinating story and each provides the same exceptional standards of service and fare. Today Nicholsons are a brand of the Mitchells & Butlers pub chain
