Why Hungary?
published by Brian & Pam Airey - 6 months 9 days ago.

Thanks for that. I had found the Breach of Promise in the paper and also have seen the Southport paper 1870. I can understand Joseph "going abroad" but why Hungary? It is not on the Grand Tour route surely? The Joplins owned/ran a number of pubs/wine merchants in Liverpool area so must have been quite well off, did Mary Eleanor pay for the Shaws  to go?

Interesting


Why Hungary?

I was wondering if he was trying to break his engagement! There are a few sentences on Joseph on page 81 of "Breach of Promise to Marry: A History of How Jilted Brides Settled Scores" (2014) by Denise Bates. He disposes of the wine and spirits business in 1870 because he is "going abroad" (not sure where). See p. 4, Southport Independent and Ormskirk Chronicle, 28 May 1870 edition:

We were saddened to hear about Brian. He was a true gentleman and a lovely person, knowledgeable, inspirational and always helpful. He will be greatly missed by everyone but never forgotten.

Last night, our 40th Anniversary Dinner took place and we remembered Brian with a toast and a minute's silence.

Sending our sincere sympathy, prayers and love to Annemarie - Sue and Jim

Have you looked for newspaper or directory entries for Joseph Joplin - he may have been advertising Hungarian wines...?

I am very sorry to hear the news about Brian- I first met him over 40 years ago and always found him so helpful and interesting to talk to - I called him"Mr Weston" as his Local and Family History knowledge of the area was second to none !

I hope tomorrow at the Anniversary Dinner a toast will be made in his name.

With best wishes and sympathy to his family.......
