In an email to Graham Hawker 29 Jan 2009 Nick Griffin states that: (Elizabeth committed suicide by cutting her own throat in the pub and is said to be the ghost that haunts the building).
Living in 1891 census at Leamore Lane, Walsall with his wife Mary A Rock previously BIRKS) nee Robertson, with their children John and Charlotte Birks, Sarah, Thomas and Henry Rock. I have found no trace of this Samuel Rock in the 1881 census on CD.
In the 1881 census she is shown as being born in Scotland. In a letter from Jean Suffolk to Eric Rock dated 13.AUG.2000, Jean states that the 1891 census shows Mary as born in Walsall.

Although shown as "imbecile" in the 1881 census, he may have been simply blind. The following comment from the Staffordshire Genealogy mailing list on the Internet, unrelated to this particular case, is illustrative:
"I just followed your advice, Gary and checked out the Lancashire County
Lunatic Asylum. Although I didn't find any ancestors I was struck by the fact
that, although many were described as "lunatic, idiot or imbecile" there
were also a great number described simply as "blind". This would appear to
have been enough to have one committed."
