RMMee Moderator	The Walters Family - Heanor replied on: 1/3/2008 5:41:12 PM From the Register of Licensed Victuallers for the area: Frederick Walters became the licence holder for the Lord Nelson on 16/1/1928. The next licensee was John Ball, who was the landlord from 1950 to 1966. (Back-street boozers tended to keep their landlords longer than on the high street!) The pub, which was owned by Home Brewery of Nottingham, had a beer-only licence - there was no wine or spirits to be had there. The pub finally closed on 9/10/1966.

RMMee Moderator	The Walters Family - Henor replied on: 1/2/2008 11:25:12 PM Jenny I've forwarded the article, which was gratefully received. Anything regarding Fred's wife? According to the article, she died three months before her husband, but Maggie can't find any record on the GRO of her death. There's a possibility her name was Frances, but they're not sure. (I've not posted the actual clipping as the photo really doesn't come out too well.)
Jennypeg Researcher	The Walters Family - Henor replied on: 1/1/2008 7:29:41 PM 21st July 1950 Ripley & Heanor News DEATH OF HEANOR LICENSEE Mr Fred Walters Much sympathy has been evinced by the death of Mr Fred Walters, of the Lord Nelson Inn, Heanor, which occurred at Nottingham General Hospital, at the age of 67 years. Before coming to the Lord Nelson 23 years ago, Mr Walters was licensee of the White Swan Basford. A popular sportsman, he played both cricket and football, and was a keen follower of national and local events. He was treasurer of the Heanor Branch of the Licensed Victualler’s Association, and past president, and chairman of the Property Owners Association. During the war years he assisted in the raising of many funds for local servicemen. Mr Walters was retiring from public business at the end of July and had been in failing health for some time. He was predeceased by his wife three months ago, and leaves one daughter. At the interment at Underwood in addition to family mourners, were Mr. R. Beighton (representing Heanor L.V.A.) and Mrs. L. Hicking (representing the customers of Lord Nelson Inn). Apart from family tributes, there were wreaths from The Directors of Home Brewery Co. Ltd Heanor L.V.A., Mr and Mrs Gregg, Mr. Luker, Mr and Mrs W. Smith Nottingham House Friends, and font and flowers from friends at the Lord Nelson Inn. Plus photo I will send a copy to Robert (its not a very good copy) Jenny

maggiesmith This message was updated on 1/3/2008 9:01:36 PM by RMMee	The Walters Family - Heanor replied on: 1/1/2008 11:15:48 AM Hello and a Happy New Year I'm helping a friend with his family research and we have just obtained a death certificate for his grandfather Frederick Walters who died in 1950 at the General Hospital in Nottingham. At the time of his death he was landlord at the Lord Nelson Public House in Nelson Street, Heanor. I wondered if anyone knew this gentleman or any of his family. Frederick had a daughter, Ethel, who married Terence Minkley in 1942. I would love to hear from anyone who may help to put me in contact with family members. Thank you - Maggie
