By 1841 John, son of Benjamin TIBBETTS and Nancy BOWATER is dead (he died on 7 Feb 1840 at Waterfall Lane, Rowley Regis, but his wife Lucy (nee WILLIAMS) is a 'maltster' at Old Hill. Her son, Frederick (b. abt 1811) is living with her. Also Living at the same address is Henry WILLIAMS, aged 60 (brother to Lucy?), and Sarah ROBBINSON, aged 25 (female servant).
John's brother, Thomas, is at Gosty Hill and there's no indication that he is involved with inns or beerselling.
