Yes I thought so, I was worried about that one because I had seen the tree on Ancestry, it was the Hannah/Ann which added to the confusion.

The tree states born 1826 Pointon, Cheshire but I think that is based on the 1861 census other census records record various places in Cheshire. No record in the county as far as I can see.

Robert Gregg
Birth   1826 Pointon Lincolnshire England
Marriage   01/1849 Sheffield Yorkshire England
Residence   1891 Handsworth Yorkshire England
Death   10/1891 Sheffield Yorkshire England

Father   GEORGE CRAIG (1799-1840)
Mother   MARY ANN HARGREAVES (1799-1859)
Spouse   Hannah Walker (1827-1899)
