Welsh Newspapers Online has a staff wanted ad for the establishment at Howell's Cottage, Tintern from 1894

Interestingly it says "apply to Jones.."

Think this is an inetresting 1871 census entry in Oxford St, London

William Sissen    34 - coffee house keeper
Caroline Sissen    36
Emma Sissen    3
Charles Goodger    31
John Tine Ram    24
Joseph G Brittle    24
Sidney Parker    40  <<< porter, b Sutton, Surrey, unmarried
William Fend    30
Mary J Howells    21  <<< servant, b Tintern Abbey, unmarried
Edwin Cowher    36
   
RG10, 92, 15, 22

Now on the image Sidney's age is 40 and birthplace Sutton, Surrey. The latter could be an assumption for Sutton (Veny), Wilts  but the age? still an interesting coincidence, given Albert's place of birth on the 1881 census

Some of you may find this rewarding. I have a photo of Louisa Harriett Parker, she was born in October 1887 to Mary Jane and Sidney. This was taken on her wedding day in April 1909. She is my great grandmother.
