You appear to have landed a live one there !

I can't find "California Tap", nor Whitmarsh, nor Ingleson.

I read the above to say

Andew Ingleson (former owner, not stated he was the keeper)

William Whitmarsh taken over as owner - Mary Ann Whitaker the keeper from 12th July 1856.

1851 census

piece 2339 folio page 9

32 Bridge St

William WHITAKER HM 39 licensed 'vitular'

Mary Ann WHITAKER WM 39

+5 children

1 lodger

2 servants

Lamb has this address as the Horse and Garter, opened 1833.

But is it the same pub as in 1856?!

In 1861 Mary Ann WHITAKER was a 'retired publican' living at 131 New Meadow Street

(piece 3482 folio 29 page 3)

My summary (open to comments)

Horse and Garter (unless otherwise stated)

1833-1849 Issac Lowe

1851 William Whitaker (wife Mary Ann) from Census

1852 William Whitaker (Directory)

1854 Mrs Mary Ann Whitaker (Directory; presume William has died)

1856 Mrs Mary Ann Whitaker, widow, Beerhouse 'California Tap' (12th July tenancy presumably after change of ownership, she was there before this date according to 1854 Directory.

presumably after the '49'ers and the Goldrush; no mention after this date (unless you know differently)

Four of the five WHITAKER children in 1861 have the middle name Lowe and one of them is called Isaac Lowe WHITAKER.

I found this marriage in the IGI:

WILLIAM WHITAKER

MARY ANNE LOWE

Marriage: 16 AUG 1835 Handsworth, Yorkshire

[batch: M109321]

So it may be a dynasty of tenants if not of owners of this pub.
