Hi, wondering if anyone can spot Annis (Anice) Winterbottom's baptism for me please, in the hope of finding her parents. Her first name is a bit unclear but Annis is used more than anything else. But there doesn't appear to be anything similar in the parish registers.
She married James Grindrod in Ashton-under-Lyne on 4 June 1830 (not sure why as they were both born in Saddleworth and James's siblings were born there from 1811 to 1825 and were there in 1841 and onwards). I've only seen the transcription though, so don't know if any witnesses might help.
They had a number of children.... William, Edna, John, Jethro, Mary Jane, Buckley, Sarah, Alice, Eliza, another Eliza and James, and i have managed to follow all but one (Eliza, married John Brierly) through to their deaths.
Sadly Annis committed suicide on 28 Jan 1869 and there is a sad but detailed statement to the coroner by James where he says she 'was 60 years old and my wife, and i have known her all my life'.
Could Annis be a local name, or maybe her mother was Ann and her name was added to to stop confusion.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.... thanks for reading.
PS they appear to have lived in Burnage (later Burnedge) for many years.... when the children were baptised and in the censuses.
