Hello there,
It is proving very difficult to find the full facts about both Ann Britton, nee Rees and Samuel Britton too.
The 1841 and 1851 census returns show Martha Rees, (Reese in the 1851)daughter, age 9 in 1841 and age 19 in 1851. There is a baptism in Bristol in 1826 for a Martha Rees, daughter of Ann Rees, but the year doesn't tie in with her age in the census.
Ann Rees appears to have been born in c1806/7 but the 1851 census shows her place of birth as "Wales", so we are talking needles and haystacks.
The name of Britton in Bitton and surrounding area, is the same as Jones in Wales (or Rees come to that). The death of Samuel cannot be located with any certainty but they are not on the 1861 census, or a later one as a married couple. I suspect I may have found one daughter, Elizabeth, on later census returns but even that isn't certain as she may have married. Her daughter, my gt gt grandmother, Sarah Ann Britton, has been traced and her details are known right up to her death in 1909. There is no trace of her mother, Ann, having been with her, or any of her family.
There are a number of descendants looking for these and no one can find details so far. Some have attributed the death in 1897 as that of this Ann Britton but I am wary of saying it is in the circumstances.
