Hello Spatts
Im not strictly a user of this site but saw your query about the Crown Inn in Longsight on a general internet search. My Great great grandparents, Robert and Alice Bowman, owned the Crown Inn for a period before 1890 when they both died within a month of each other. The ownership passed on to their single Daughter Alice Maria, my great grandmother, who was just 20. Alice Bowman also had two sons who were both born in Australia in the 1860s. Alice Maria Bowman married a Thomas Shaw in 1891 and had five children. Thomas died sometime between 1899 and 1901 and Alice Maria remarried in 1903 to a Albert Summersgill and had two more children. This marriage ended before the 1911 census and she is listed as a Widow however I understand he had remarried. She died in 1919.
I hope this is of some interest.
