Hi
What exactly are you searching for? Where have you already found him? When and where did he marry Ann? Are they on any censuses? Children? If so, their birth regs will give mother's maiden name ....
sorry about lots if questions, but we need to know all you have already found, and where the gaps are that we are looking for!

At the risk of duplicating what you may already have - Is this them on 1851? Though this Ann bn about 1814 rather than about 1824

Birth
Ap/May/Jun 1841
Fordingbridge
Elizabeth Langford
mother maiden name: WATTS
So it looks as if it is the Watts marriage that KGArrad found.
IF we are looking at the right family in the first place!

Now I'm wondering why I can't find who Elizabeth's parents were? As she is only down as a granddaughter of James and Ann. I did find she was a stepdaughter in a census but can't access it.

The absence of a Mother's maiden name usually indicates an illegitimate birth?

Looks like the daughter registered as Ann in 1848 might have become Mary ann, there was a bapt of a Mary Ann in Fordingbridge on 23 Apr 1848 d/o James and Anne. A Mary Anne Langford married an Atwell Skivington in Christchurch district in Q3 1875
