Notes
A Marnham owned the Barge Aground, originally at 361 High Street, at the time of the Ealing tithe enumeration; the occupier was a William PERRESS. The site has a couple of photos showing the pub in its later years; it was rebuilt in 1902 on a larger site, probably expanding into the area ocupied by no. 362.George Marnham's widow Hannah left a will which was proved by the same court in 1839.
Michael SIMS, gentleman, left a will proved in 1849, at the same court as the Marnhams; he was recorded as a victualler at The Catherine Wheel in the 1826 trade directory.
