One of my wife's ancestors (John Sammes) operated the Two Brewers pub in Marden Ash, High Ongar, Essex, in 1841. It was John and Sarah Sammes daughter, Sarah Emma Sammes, who married George Frost Joy, who was  running the pub in 1851. (John Sammes died on 26 January 1858, aged 83).

George Joy died on October 14, 1856 aged 48. From the 1861 census you show the Two Brewers being run by his widow Sarah Emma (Sammes) Joy. She died on 11 June 1892, aged 81.

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!
