Thank you for the info.
I think you may be right that Catherine is Mary Ann.
Can you see this same family in 1851 and 1841 by chance.

thanks

PS in 1855 there are 2 births in Biggleswade of just Female Lincoln, so it looks like they changed their minds and called her Mary A instead!

Thanks everyone for all your help! It has answered a lot of questions and filled in a lot of gaps.
One final question, do you think Anne- 16 is sister to Richard-27.

[keyboard86]

Looking at ages of Richard's parents, and the age difference between Richard and Anne they must have produced a football team of children!

So yes I think Anne is Richard's sister.

I can't find anything on IGI for this family but Ann could be Richard's sister because this son who has returned home fills in some of the gap in Richard and Ann's ages
