"Ring of Bells" Tavern
« on: Friday 17 March 17 05:30 GMT (UK) »
Pigot's Directory lists William Minear at "Ring of Bells " Tavern in 1830 and 1837 directory.
Can any one advise location? May have been St Austell or neighbourhood according to directory.
Trying to identify family , in particular Mary Hancock Minear who married William Henry Harry at Charlestown 1853.

The marriage on Cornwall OPC states no father's name for Mary (a minor), although William's father is mentioned?

So, this baptism looks likely:
6th April 1834, at St Austell
Mary Minear, daughter of Jane Minear, base child
(No father's name, but father a victualler)

The fact that she uses Hancock as a middle name would seem to suggest that her father was a Mr Hancock?

Victoria Square St Austell. Demolished prior to 1893 when a YMCA was built. This building still seems to exist. Google maps may help.

I am having problems loading maps on my ipad, but I suggest you find the location of Victoria Square on a current map, and then look at NLS maps for St Austell to find the location. Pubs are sometimes named.
