George Charles Hollebone is the son of George Charles and Susan Winch.
George Charles’ sister Caroline Hollebone married Robert Geer, the previous
licensee at the Swan. Another sister, Mary Ann, married William Inman, who
in 1861 was the licensee of the
King & Queen, Marlborough
Place, Brighton, which was probably the main coaching inn to London at
this time. In the 1861 census Caroline Geer, Robert’s daughter, is a barmaid
at the King & Queen. **
