Sarah Mary Oakman (nee Daniels), was my great aunt and married William
George Oakman in the Parish Church in West Ham on 18 September 1898.
Electoral registers up until 1927 show William Oakman at 16 Vallance Road,
and his wife up to 1925 before she died in 1926. William seems then to have
moved to live with relatives and died in 1928. *
My aunt - Violet Stanton - worked at the pub as a very young girl, I think
behind the bar. Sarah Mary Oakman was known as 'Aunt Molly'. *
