 There is also this:

Mother Ann Spalding, father a servant but no name.

This more likely fits with the illegitimacy

when Ann marries John Crow in 1860 at All Saints Goulceby, her father is William Spalding. Goulceby is the next village to Asterby. On the 1861 census, it`s just Ann and John Crow.

(i keep adding to this)

The birth at Horncastle Workhouse looks more like Ann Crow`s daughter, as there was an infant buried at Asterby 12th April, 6 weeks old, so not able to find on the 1861 census. "If" this is right, we still need to be sure of the original Ellen Crow.

Good luck!
