Over the issue of Anne STANYER, it would appear that she was the Anne STANYARN, baptised in Rothwell on August 19, 1736, daughter of Joseph and Anne STANYARN. On April 20, 1735, a Mr. Joseph STANYARN of Rothwell had married Mrs. Ann WHITWORTH of Earls Barton, by licence, in Earls Barton. The marriage licence was issued on April 19, 1735 for Joseph STANYARN of Rothwell, Bachelor, to marry Ann WHITWORTH of Earls Barton, Spinster. Joseph died in 1751, and it appears that his widower moved back to Earls Barton with her daughters. In All Saints church, Earls Barton there is the following memorial: "Anne, wife of Mr Joseph Stanyarn died October 7, 1780 in 81st year". This suggests that Anne STANYARN (nee WHITWORTH) was born about 1698/99, probably in Earls Barton. She would appear to have been the Ann WHITWORTH, baptised in Earls Barton on May 20, 1700, daughter of William WHITWORTH and his wife, Mary. Does anyone have anything on this William and Mary?
