1785 not 1885.

Yes, sorry I went from the date you gave in your first post today which says:

she is saying the only one that firsts is a one in Calne wiltshire In 1775

So, you should have said 1765. I didn't notice the actual date was 10 years earlier because I was fed up with being taken on a wild goose chase to Wiltshire when she was probably born in Lancashire.

Anyway the Calne girl died in 1774, so forget her.

will explain to them , that shes out of the picture , and like you said it may be one of those things that we may never find her true birth . as long as they know . i think they should look closer to lancashire . But that's up to them .

Hi ,was checking the births on family search without a first name , and came across a birth reg in Wigan , for a mary Lea ,base daughter of elizabeth 1776 abode scholes , it's a stab in the dark , but mother Betty could be a elizabeth , and Mary could be a mary ann . Scholes is approx three or four miles from Haigh , which is a higher end of Wigan . What are your thoughts on possibilities ? thanks

But her father is Thomas Lea, according to post #13. Also a baptism in 1776 is too late isn't it? (making her aged 9 at her marriage)

You don't mention whether you have managed to eliminate all the baptisms I suggested in post #25.

Of those five baptisms, I would say these two are the most promising:

Baptism: 19 Sep 1762 St Peter, Bolton, Lancashire, England
Ann Lee - Daughter of Thos. Lee & Betty
Abode: Turton
Source: LDS Family Search

Baptism: 6 Feb 1767 St Mary the Virgin, Leigh, Lancashire, England
Ann Lee - Daughter of Thomas Lee
Abode: Bedford
Register: Baptisms 1757 - 1769, Page 110
Source: LDS Film 1885648

If she is the first of these then she would be about 23 at the marriage in 1785. Bolton le Moors is under 10 miles from Wigan. The mother is recorded and she has the right first name.

The second baptism above, she would have been a minor at the marriage, which isn't mentioned, so perhaps less promising. Leigh is a couple of miles nearer to Wigan. From that baptism we don't know the name of Ann's mother.

However, I have not attempted to eliminate any of the baptisms I've suggested in post #25. Perhaps you could confirm if you have been able to discount any of them.

hi , I looked at the first baptism and that doesn't look too bad parents are correct . Turton abode is just outside of Bolton . Haigh being about 9 miles away . so it is a possibility.

[Merry]

So you need to look at burials and marriages in Bolton and surrounds to see if there's a possibility of Ann dying or marrying there which would eliminate her.

Do you have a burial age for your Ann? Do you know when she had her last child?

[Qwackers]

hi ,sorry ,i've no idea ,but will check what you've mentioned later to see if i can eliminate her thanks
