Researching Brewery and Publican
Ancestors
Second edition (2009). By Simon Fowler. 48 pages. ISBN 978-1-906280-12-3.
Simon Fowler is a long-established author and editor in the world of family
history publications. This, the second edition of his Researching Brewery and
Publican Ancestors, will lead the researcher to the many avenues of research
available.
The brewing industry, along with Pubs, Inns and Alehouses, employed large
numbers of workers—far more than today. In Victorian Britain the number of
licensees alone peaked at more than 100,000. It is, therefore, unsurprising that
so many of us have ancestors who worked somewhere in this industry.
The first section of is a brief survey about the changing nature
of brewing, the pub, and the people who worked there, which might help if you are
trying to discover more about your ancestor and they places they worked in. The
second part offers advice about the records and where you can find them. There is
also a glossary of terms you might come across in the course of your research, a
short bibliography, and list of relevant web-sites.
