1900s Annie Wragg The Crown Inn

Annie Wragg seen here seated in her living room in the Crown Inn. Annie and her husband John Wragg took over The Crown Inn sometime after 1901, she is shown on the electoral register living at the Crown in 1904. John died in 1904 and is buried in All Saints Church graveyard. John and Annie originally lived in Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire. The 1901 census shows them living in Sheffield. 

Annie was living in the Crown in 1906. According to the electoral registers, in 1914 she lived in a house (no number given) in Houghton Road and in 1916 in Mixt Way (no longer street in Houghton Regis). Some years  later Annie and most of her children emigrated to USA where she remarried. My grandfather, John William Wragg, known as Jack stayed behind as he had met his future wife Daisy Turner. He lived in Princess Street, Dunstable.
