Weller
- Amersham
William WELLER established a brewery in 1771 or earlier. He died in 1802 and bequeathed the brewery to three of his sons: John (1759-1843), William II (1764-1843) and Joseph (1766-1857). Joseph emigrated to New South Wales. When John and William II died in 1843 the brewery passed to John's son Edward (1790-1850) and William's son William III (1797-1859), then to William's sons William IV (1840-1908), Edward (1843-1890) and George (1844-1929.) They owned about 120 public houses and supplied others, becoming the principal employer in Amersham. The business was sold to Benskin's Brewery following George's death in 1929. I have further details of brewery, and also of Weller family back to 1542.

She was electrocuted. Her Funeral took place according to burial register Aston Abbotts on the 29th April 1961 age 55years, she was sister to Arthur J. Bierton of Aston Abbotts, he identified her.
