By the time of the 1881 census, the
family were living at 3 Finsbury St, Monkwearmouth. Ann
was 12 and listed as a scholar. Her Mam must have died

The 1901 census recorded them in
Sunderland. They were living at the Phoenix pub at 40

In the last quarter of 1901, Ann's
husband, George, died, he was 30 years old.
In 1908, Ann re-married, her second

The census of 1911 showed that William
and Ann were running a pub called the Queens Head in Low
