At the time of the 1881 census John Harrison's son George was living at home along with a servant Alice Cook, who originated from Penwortham. In 1883 local marriage records confirm that Alice and George married in Blackburn and took over from father John running the Stag's Head but later the same year George tragically died. Running the Inn single-handedly would have proved difficult after losing her husband and it comes as no surprise to note that the following year she remarried a local farmer, Robert Cookson with whom she ran the Inn whilst bringing up a young family for the next 20 years or so.
