Many thanks Rishile - will wait to hear from you later.  I will look for photos that I'm pretty sure show The Lansdowne with signage showing that it is The Carpenters Arms.  I went down to Torquay to find it in 1989, and I'm sure it was the Carpenters then.

Hi Again,  Just to do three posts...
The John Way pope I've mentioned above was 1855 - 1935, and his parents were (another) John Way Pope 1821 - 1883 and Elizabeth Pigeon (I think), and that's as far as I've gone back so far with the Popes.  Many thanks again for replying.  Joy xx

Hi Rishile,
That's brilliant news.  I have never thought that I would be able to be in contact with any descendants of the Popes.  And without looking at my records, I'm not sure where Jane is on my tree, but I think she is a direct ancestor of mine too.  My Grandmother, was Frances Louisa Pope.  B: 11 Nov 1883; D: 7 Jun 1933.  She was the daughter of John Way Pope & Louisa M Pope, but I haven't gone back any further on her side. Many thanks for replying! Best wishes, Joy xx

Hello Rishile
I understand my grandparents, or great grandparents ran the Carpenters Arms in South Street, Tor (now Torquay) back in the late 1800's and early 1900's, they were Jane Pope (widow) at 30 South Street.  It seems when you were asking about this pub, the impressions was given that it was no longer there, but I'm certain it is now The Lansdowne in South Street, Torquay.  I'm pretty certain I have got, or have seen pictures of it when it was named The Carpenters Arms.  I've registered on this site, just to give you this information, and hope to hear back from you, but am not really sure how it works, but I hope this info is helpful.  Kind regards, Joy
