Paul Espinasse and the Guinness Brewery

[John Falvey]

...and here is Sir Mark Ransford's full will https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH3-M3RV-1?i=72&cat=185720. it doesn't mention who he left the brewery to but it may be that it is "the Estate he had by Aldm Gyles Mee go after the death of his son Mark" - as he had inherited the brewery from his father in law Gyles Mee in 1691.

Didn't know about the statue...

Not sure what to make of this deed https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH3-9432-F?i=174&cat=185720 It looks like Mark Ransford is leasing Sir Mark's house to William Espinasse, What I can't understand is the bit about it being "a security to Capt Paul Espinasse". Both William and Paul are brewers.

This 1717 deed says William is Paul's nephew and William is marrying Mary Gunning and I recognise quite a few of the other names (sad I know).

Now who fell off that horse?

You will of course as it is all wheels within wheels!

I even recognize names on the Deeds, one of which was a previous Lord Mayor...
