It was reported 16th July 1937 that Mrs. Ann Colman, late landlady
of the Old Oak Inn, where she resided for upward of forty years, had
died the previous Saturday, at the house of her son at Cow Cross, London, age 81.
It would appear that the Anne Colman named here in 1845 was her
mother, since this Ann was born about 1856.
