My grandparents were Ernest and Alice Holford. Ernest was licensee of the
Palmerston Arms on Well Street, Hackney. In the 1911 census he is registered
at the pub as the manager. He bought it not long after at about the time of
his marriage in 1913. My father was born in the Palmerston Arms (he was very
proud of that fact!); and that his parents owned the pub. Ernest was
divorced in 1923 and moved on. According to the phone books, Ernest Holford
was 'licensed victualler' of the Bishop Bonner on Bonner Street in 1924. From 1925 to 1929 he is listed as the 'licensed
victualler' at 113 High Street, E9 - the Forester's Arms. He is not in the phone book in 1930 or 1931 but I'm certain he stayed at that pub
until his death in 1931 at the age of 47. ***
