    3. Caroline, you are absolutely magnificent and spot on as always, leaving some of us plebs for dead. You have confirmed my thoughts re. Carter's Lane the more modern Inn called Saracen's Head. Sad that it is no more.The Woodhill family I recall was definitely in charge. As for your assertion of a possible marriage of Ellen Bennett to Charles Skinner Chapple, this looks very encouraging as her father definitely was William and a builder and given that she was born in Soho, brmmmmmmm, that's a lot of wonderful coincidences stacked up. Fulham was an area graced by some of her younger relatives, so possible she had moved after the reconstruction of Holborn to there prior to 1891. It would certainly not have been a youthful marriage as she would have been 50 at the time, so guess no children from that marriage. Anyway, I shall follow this up in FindmyPast with the further census' of 1901 and 1911. Once again, spot on Caroline. Thanks so much.
