So could this be Anne in 1851, with the wrong surname?

Yes, that's the marriage I found. So, Ann was with her maternal grandparents. I've tried Ancestry and FMP and I can't see them in 1851 at all. Must be really badly mistranscribed.


I have found them on the 1861, 1871 and 1881. John dies in 1890 and I've found Rebecca in 1891 and 1901 and her death in 1901.
