Crowe family Its hard to imagine actor Russell Crowe wearing an apron and flogging fruit and veg on a Wrexham street. Crowes roots can be traced back to Wrexham, where, in the early 20th Century, his great grandfather ran a fruit and veg wholesale business. A well-known businessman, William Frederick Crowe was also a respected member of the church, and became a deacon of Chester Street Baptist Church in Wrexham. When Mr Crowe and his wife, Kezia, decided to emigrate to Canada with 12 of their 13 children, their departure was big news in the local Evening Leader paper. It reported: Mr F. W. Crowe, a very well known Wrexhamite, leaves today (Friday) for Calgary, Canada. He will be accompanied by his wife and 12 children.
