Edward Bowen was my great grandfather, born in Welshpool in 1841, and his
son Edward Leonce Bowen was born in the pub on 8th March 1878 but sadly the
infant died a few months later. The inquest was held in the nearby George on
29th June 1878, reported in the Bucks Herald on Saturday 6th July. By the
time of the 1881 census my great grandfather had left the trade and moved to
East London. *
