Penny, There were lots of malthouses around and in Stroud. I actually live in an old one in Minchinhampton which was owned by my 3xgreat uncle in the early 1800's. Malt was not necessarily made in a brewery. Probably not in the early 1800's and not in the 20th Cent. You don't give the name of the person who interests you! The Stroud Brewery is mentioned on: _http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=19061_ (http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=19061) Worth a look. Hugh Kearsey
Thanks Hugh Yes, British-history.ac.uk/ reports that there were 8 malthouses in the parish of Stroud in 1822. My ggg grandfather, John GAY, was a maltster in Stroud between 1813 and 1829. He died in 1829, aged 37, leaving a widow and seven sons. The family lived in Lower Street, Acres Hedge and Meeting Street, Stroud, between John's marriage in 1813 and his death. Clearly there were several possible places he might have worked in the Stroud area - but it's good just to know that, so I'm very grateful for your help.
