Perhaps some of you have queries relating to a place name or road that existed in the area? Or maybe an update on some possible new connections? Like Jean said earlier the lists are quieter perhaps because of more easy access to records online so no problem answering Jean on list. See you soon. Linda & Tony

HI all, Since it seems to be a quiet time, I wonder if the "gang" has any insights on how a "beerhouse keeper" would operate. This was my ggrandmother's mother's occupation in Portsea. She lived at 2 Green Rd. Artillery Arms. Would it be likely that this was also her "premises"? The Artillery Arms sounds like a beerhouse to me. Would anyone know anything about this place? Thanks all.

The The Beer House Act of 1830 was passed by the government of the Duke of Wellington with the aim of eliminating the evil influence of cheap gin and other sprits in the lives of the working class and to promote the healthier influence of beer. A licencee could not sell spirits. The act which enabled anyone liable for the poor rate to purchase a license for 2 guineas may not have reduced the consumption of spirits but did result in a large growth of beer houses in the urban working class area and an increase in the consumption of beer. Over 24,000 licences were issued in 1830 alone. It permitted an individual to sell beer from his own home or store, and had a devastating social effect on the working class and a disastrous economic effect on the established alcoholic beverage trade. In the coming years restriction were gradually imposed and then recently reduced.

Hi all, Another question. My Portsmouth family history is chock-full of sailors who never appear on censuses and are very hard to track down. (Perhaps not surprising.) If a sailor died at sea, how would his death be registered? I assume that it would be different if he was in the RN or not. I have found some sites giving information on where naval and military records are stored but nothing seems to be online yet. Is there any easier way to find information? Linda and Tony, I am wondering if it is possible to have a way to upload Portsmouth family pedigrees to your site, just as one can do for Ancestry.com and the LDS family search. Even the LDS is now selling its geneological records (although a lot is still free) and I would like to see a place where family records can be shared freely with others. I know some folks have created their own family websites but many of us wouldn't want to go to that effort. Any thoughts?
