This is where and when possible John William Melville then 'stepped in' claiming that the Bottled Cooper in name , was his idea or concept . It does seem that he was involved in many dubious practices under the surname of Melville / Bevil through my research with many articles within papers of liquidations and bankruptcies in various places ( not just England ) and on many occasions .
There is also a bigamist marriage and further ' sham ' marriage as has been documented on the many Rootschat posts that was to bear at least 15 children known .

The name in the frame against "Circular Vaults" after Henry Johnson is "Hazard" -
London Evening Standard, 1 Sep 1863

Will check when he faded from the scene

J Hazard disappears from the bottled trade at Circular Vaults in April 1864 and is replaced by the "Cooper Company" - earliest sighting
London Evening Standard, 20 May 1864

My first sighting of John Melville - appearing in relation to a bankruptcy/court case which also mentions Johnson
Morning Advertiser, 29 Jan 1866

The Cooper Company quits the Circular Vaults -
Norwood News, 17 Jan 1872

In the 1875 directory, it seems I should have been looking at 24A Southwark Street!  This was home to several businesses including:

Cooper Co., beer bottlers (Vaults)

Post again if you want the other businesses at 24A.
