Fourth Generation


59. James Albert WEYMARK397 was born on 29 January 1867 in Eastdean, Eastbourne, East Sussex, England.23,398 He was born at Summerdown. He was christened on 7 April 1867 in Eastdean, Eastbourne, East Sussex, England.23 James was registered and christened James Herbert, but somehow Herbert was changed to Albert later in life. He lived at Clay Hill Barn Cottage in Westham, East Sussex, England in 1871.208 In 1881 James was a Gardener.8 On the 8th March 1881 (just in time to be enumerated in the census!) James was placed, aged 13, with a Mr Downlew of Stone's Cross, Westham, as a gardener. There is still (in 2000) a garden centre there. He lived at 4 Hanover Place in Eastbourne, East Sussex, England in 1889.8 In 1899 he was a Beer Retailer (Heathfield) Kelly's.397 Richard Tyrrell Price, husband of Molly Brook who was granddaughter of Samuel, asserts that Samuel had a brother called James who ran the Barley Mow in Punnetts Town. In 1937 James was a Council Groundsman.397 He died Nypostatie Pneumonia & Chronic Bronchitis on 25 December 1937 at the age of 70 in Eastbourne, East Sussex, England.397 James died at 123 Church Street, Eastbourne, which was the Union Workhouse Hospital. James is said by Molly, his great niece, to have been landlord of the Barley Mow in Punnet's Town, Heathfield, Sussex, England. Research has not yet shown this to be true. In 1891 the licence was taken over by Samuel Collins and in a trade directory of 1938 it was in the hands of Jas. Lavender. Was Sam a relation of Kate, James' wife? Was Jas. Lavender a relation of Walter Lavender, thought to in a group photo including Sam Whymark?
The Barley Mow still exists, although it has nothing in its favour except a wonderful view over the Downs to the sea. The pub itself lacks character.
