I was interested in finding information on this pub (and it's location, as
I haven't been able to find Cider House Passage on any map) because my
great-great-great-great-grandfather was landlord there.
Joseph Watson, who was landlord from 1837 till 1840 (when he died) was
born in Dublin, and married Catherine, a fellow Dubliner, producing at
least two daughters and a son. One of the daughters, also Catherine, born
1813 (in Dublin) married William Merriman (a draper from Tenby, Wales) in
Clifton, 1841, and the couple ran the Bank Tavern in John Street from 1841
to 1849. They were my great-great-great-grandparents, and both
their sons were born at the Bank Tavern, in 1843 and 1846 respectively.
William, the younger son, was my great-great-grandfather, and he died in
Leeds, 1923.
