The [Ager/Wager link] - my great great great aunt, Martha Ager, married James Wager in 1863 (she didn’t have to change her name much!). James’ brother was William Wager who ran the Compasses in Great Totham and the Fox in Rivenhall, and his sister was Elizabeth Wager who appears to have lived quite a long life at the Swan in Little Totham. He also had another sister, Eliza. She married Albert Binks whose parents ran the Victoria, Barking, and after Albert’s death she remarried William Bone who ran the Blue Anchor in Barking and was last seen in 1901 with the occupation of “Publican” and living at 6 High Street, Ilford, Essex. *****

I get hundreds of emails every day, fortunately most 'spam mails' are deleted by my mail scan settings. The final emails are delivered to various email addresses, and replying to these are not always successful. If you do not hear from me in a timely fashion, please feel free to email again, I do not mind! This is a pure PUBS history site, I doubt if I know where the PUBS are NOW, but try the site for where they were a hundred years ago, again enjoy!
Once you have discovered enough history of Essex; why not study to undergraduate or postgraduate level in Computer Science or Electronics Engineering at the Department of Computing and Electronic Systems, Essex University in Colchester, Essex? It is not only a great place to study, but also a foreleader in technology at an UK leading University with courses and doctoral research in Robotics, Natural Engineering, Intelligent Systems, Embedded Systems, Networking and Photonics, Laser Technology etc.
