Thank you all for your valuable input and research time, the amount of information you have uncovered and provided has helped me immensely. I am now satisfied I have enough detail to allow me to move on with John & Ann’s lives and the rest of the family.

I have now successfully connected Ann Williams with Thomas Fitch and her conviction in 1880/81. There was an Elizabeth Langdon that came into Thomas Fitch’s life after Ann where they had 4 children and unfortunately Elizabeth died during her son’s delivery. Thomas Fitch had some serious issues which led him to spending a lot of time at the New Town Charitable Institute and a lot of police involvement.

Thank you again for your help I am hoping to complete the family history and hand it onto the grandkids in the near future, although there is still a couple of generations to complete.
Regards

sparrett, your right I have been unfortunately off line and apologies for the delay in getting back to you all, I’ve been holidaying in Fiji for most of February and wasn’t expecting the internet connection to be so bad over there. I did have a very brief connection a couple of times but was unable to read all the investigative work that’s been provided.

All this new information will take me sometime to take in, some of the info provided is completely outside any research I have collected previously. Thank you all again for all your valuable input.

There is very little detail on the certificate but what I do know & I'm fairly sure of, Anne wasn't born in WARATAH NSW, the other puzzling issue I initially struggled with is the Elizabeth middle name.
I'll try to attach the document if that will help.

I now have all the certificates and something doesn't add up, see below;
Ann Elizabeth Williams
Date of Death 14th April 1908 - Place Benevolent Asylum, Waratah
Aged 88
Place of Birth  - Waratah NSW
Father - William Ashton
Occupation - Soldier
Mother - Jane Dikes
That's it, very little information and it doesn't fit in with the rest of the family on the headstone

Thank you very much for all your help "wivenhoe", I very much appreciate it. Although I've been researching for a couple of years now, I feel like I'm still very much a novice. I'm also getting on in years so it takes a bit of time for all this to sink in, that's one of the reasons for my ongoing requests for help.

People like yourself and "sparrett" have been so helpful with your knowledge and the fact your willing to help, I am so grateful.

I'll get onto purchasing the death certificate to confirm the family details.
Regards

wivenhoe,
that is an excellent bit of information, it appears, (as you said) most things seem to line up. If this all pieces together, it only leaves John to work on. I'm also interested in what "sparrett" had to say about the death record information.

shume, thank you very much for your input. Although I included the 1889 death I now have some concerns around the record showing her being born in Cumberland, England where Ann Ashton (to the best of my knowledge) was born in Chatham, the other thing I have picked up on is the last address I have for John & Ann is Melville Street in 1856 and the 1889 death shows Murray Street. At this point in time I haven't found a family member who lived in Murray Street, not that that is a deal breaker.
Thank you again.
