1800 Trade Directories look up

[Anne-Marie]

I would be grateful for any information on Frances BEHOE who can be found on page 52 1830's Pigot's but I have no idea what she was doing!!

I would also be interested on a look up for Thomas BEHOE and his wife Mary Ann.  In 1851 census (Twyford, Hurst) Thomas was an innkeeper but I have been told he is listed in a directory (sorry don't know which one!) as a Brewer.  I would be v grateful for any information I receive about him from abt 1830 to his death in 1856 - but at that point he was a Porter Agent in Reading.

His surname may be misspelt - but have a good guess!

Thank you

Anne-Marie

Hi Anne-Marie,

Frances BEHOE in 1830 Pigot's directory:
Reading / Clothes Dealers / Behoe Frances, 17 Crown st

Thomas BEHOE in 1847 Post Office directory:
Reading / Traders / Behoe Thomas, retail brewer, 53 King's road south

These were the only entries I found - visually, as the pdf search found none! Not very reliable on these old directories.

Twyford comes under Reading in the 1830 & 1844 Pigot's, and has its own (tiny) section in the 1847 PO. The 1830 & 1844 have very little for Twyford - except for taverns!

As I looked through all the taverns (they're listed by tavern name rather than keeper), I've recorded these below. I had a tavern-keeper g3-grandfather (King's Arms, Coventry) and was interested to find other names before and after his reign.

Cheers,
Steve
