William MASSEY of Stockport born ca 1796
« on: Saturday 08 October 11 16:26 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have any information about a William Massey of Stockport, Cheshire, born ca 1796 and died before 1851?  In 1841 he was living at Middle Hillgate, Stockport and described himself as a Publican.  On his son James' marriage certificate in 1855 he is described as an Innkeeper.  He married Ann (probably Ann Pinkney) and had children James, Ellen, Martha and Mary.  I can't find him in any of the relevant trade directories so don't know the name of the pub he worked in.

I'd be grateful for any help.

Hi,

In 1850 Bagshaws directory, there is a William Massey running a 'beerhouse' in Water Street, Macclesfield ( 9 miles from Stockport),

I have Masseys in the Stockport area at that time, and William is a name that does occur through several generations

Unfortunately, this particular William does not (yet) seem to be connected, but I will keep an eye out for him in my searches!

Hi,
Thanks very much for that.  I'd already checked the directories.  But I hadn't found the declaration of insolvency.  How sad.  And many thanks for your message with the details.

There's a William Massey on the Stockport Biography Index.

 1837  Vic. Swan and Castle , 70 Middle Hillgate

  Should read as Sun and Castle.

www.stockport.gov.uk

There's a good photo of the pub on Google Maps.

Thanks for this.  Have found the photos - it's nice to see the original features have been preserved.
