You've added another piece to the jigsaw. Robert Chew the Innkeeper was the son of Robert Chew the butcher and his bankruptcy will explain why his father excluded him from his Will  I've wondered for years why his name wasn't mentioned in the Will and now I know.

Thank you so much I really appreciate your help.

Just a little more I found.

The Yorkshire Herald, November 03, 1894
Robert had  a deficiency of  £254 0s 4d. The case was closed upon the application of the official receiver.

The Yorkshire Herald, January 05, 1892
Scarborough.
Robert Chew innkeeper Cayton was charged while being drunk in charge of a pony  and cart in Waterhouse Lane on the 2nd inst.
 Inspector Kettlewell found the cart  containing milk cans unattended
Fined 5s and cost of the case.

The Hull Packet and East Riding Times October 20, 1871
Bridlington.
Henry Monkman and Robert Chew both of Filey butchers were found by the inspector of weights and measures to  each have a scale to be incorrect. Both fined £1 including costs.

That is amazing. Where would I find the papers you've quoted?

On the 1901 Robert is still at the Star Inn listed as butcher and innkeeper. I don't know much about bankruptcy but he obviously had been discharged from the debt by this time. It looks like he was a bit of a scoundrel doesn't it?
