London and Middlesex / Eighteenth century coffee houses
« on: Thursday 11 November 10 19:51 GMT (UK) »
Would anyone be familiar with eighteenth century coffee houses in London?
I have found that an "ancestor?" Samuel Coppock was master of the Grecian coffee house . In his 1778 will he mentions the wife of Henry Timbrell of Old Slaughters coffee house.
I need to confirm I have the right Samuel Coppock.
My questions are - would Samuel Coppock have been described as a gentleman after he sold the Grecian coffee house?
Would a coffee house master be known as a vintner?
