Hi,
Just before I go off to bed - I think it may be that the transcriber of the registers on the CD might have got it wrong and put mother's name as Ann, or the clerk, at time of child's baptism.
I've got a case where they put father's name as William, then put john over the top - now everyone who looks at the record on the IGI thinks father was William and can't get any further, becaude the clerk at Dr.Williams' library copied the name the uncorrected name, William! And even though I've told them they say it can't be changed!
The marriage on the IGI definitely states that William married Jane Moore in 1830 + details about burials in the General Cemetery at Nottingham.
Wonder if Ann was William's sister. The baptism at Sneinton for William gives father's name as William and mother Ann, and so does baptism for Ann (both 1805/6) - just maiden names are different. If you can it might be an idea to check the Sneinton parish register or ask SKS to help.
So, it's possible Ann looking after Herbert in 1881 is his great aunt - and the other Ann's auntie.
Hope that makes sense and I've got it right - it's late so the mind is shutting down!
As far as the mysteries/puzzles are concerned all I can say is tell me about it!!! I'm waiting desperately to get some solutions, too.
Kind regards,
Paulene.
