Hello again Margaret, then based on the following:
Marriages Dec 1882   (>99%)
~~~~~~~~
GARDNER  Annie    St.Geo.H.sq.  1a 797   
Haggis  James     St. Geo. H. Sq.  1a 797   
Lock  Annie     St. Geo. H. Sq.  1a 797   
Truman  James     St. Geo. H. Sq.  1a 797

Could you find in 1891 these two men, James Haggis and James Truman to see if Annie (ex Lock) was born in Limpsfield.

[Barbara F]

Now this looks hopeful!

Oh dear - I don't think this is right as I can See James Haggis on the 1881 census in the household of Alfred Lock who has a daughter Annie!

Then this is the next most likely marriage, I would be grateful if you could find out if this Ann was the one in question:
Marriages Jun 1884
Harrison  Arthur    St. Saviour  1d 242   
LOCK  Ann     St Saviour  1d 242   
Record  John     St Saviour  1d 242   
STROUD  Julia     St.Saviour  1d 242

[Barbara F]

It looks as though John Record married Julia.
Arthur Harrison and wife Ann (living in St Saviour and therefore most likely the couple who married there) are 29 and 33 respectively. both born London City.
There are 2 other couples in London with the same names but neither fits in with your Ann.

Do you know what happened to Ann's child?  Any chance that Ann might be with/near him/her?

[adam_in_SW_Middx]

Ann Lock her daughter lived in Sunbury, Middlesex in 1891 (she was married in Lambeth).

[Barbara F]

Free BMD has a couple of deaths in the London area that might fit your Ann - although that does not explain why we cannot find her on the censuses.  On the other hand if she continued as a ladies maid she might have gone abroad with her employer.

If she was in an institution in 1891 she would probably be shown with just her initials.  There is a female A L aged 47  in Wandsworth asylum in 1891.  She is a needllewoman (which does not really fit) and there is no place of birth given. She is recorded as a Lunatic and blind.

Hi Barbara,

I have not seen a record of her being blind, but perhaps she changed her name after having the child illegitimately - who was Frances Drummond living with in 1861?

[Barbara F]

Hello Chris

Frances was at Strathallan Castle with her parents and siblings plus servants in 1861.  She was 12.

Barbara

Do you have the birth certificate for Ann Lock b 1867?  Just wondering whether that would give us some clues.  It is odd that we cannot find Ann senior except in 1881.
