COMPLETED What happened to Ann Payne/Pain?

[Tigsy]

Can anyone help me find out what happened to Ann Pain (parents were John and Mary) - I know she was born in Lamborne in Feb 1818, but can not trace any other information about her.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Do you have the parent's marriage?:
(IGI extracted)
John Pain = Mary Ann Wait
9 Nov 1817
Lambourn

There are several other children (siblings for Ann) also b Lambourn.

Do you know anything more about Ann? She may have married prior to the 1841 census so unless you find her marriage, you won't know her surname to find her in the censuses.

Looking through FreeBMD I found this:
Marriages Dec 1842
Payne Ann
Hungerford (which covers Lambourn)
vol 6
page 356

to either:
Joseph Harris
Henry Radbourn
Roger Spanswick
or Jason Spanswick

I will see if I can find any of these couples in the censuses to see who paried up with who.

Of course your Ann may not even have married ... or may have died young ...

Afraid I can't see an Ann*b Berkshire married to Joseph, Henry, jason or Roger in the 1851 census. 

An Ann married one of them!

I will look at 1861.

Nope - no luck there either. When was the last time you spotted Ann Pain?

Thanks, it is a mystery.

I have checked and not found Ann at all - I have managed to trace what happened to all her brothers and sisters (her sister Catherine Payne is my Gt Gt Grandmother), it is just Ann I can't locate.

Interesting that Eliza Paynes son (Anns sister), Robert Dimmer, married into the Spanswick family in Marylebone in 1876, especially when I would have thought it was an unusual name.

I am hoping at some point to get a copy of the marriage for John Pain and Mary Ann Wait so I can taken that further as they were my Gt Gt Gt Grandparents.

There's a widower Roger Spanswick in 1851:

Class: HO107; Piece: 1833; Folio: 319; Page: 2

He is aged 34 employed as a servant in Wanborough and has a 7 year old Albert Spanswick with him, born in Eastbury, Berkshire.

Thank you, is that near Lambourne, Berks?

Is there a burial listed for an Ann Spanswick, that may give a clue.

Kind regards

[Tigsy]

I can't find a baptism for Albert on the IGI index which is a shame!  Thanks for looking.
Kind regards
