Which ann Welbourn in Denton

[DCB]

The details of Ann on the image are difficult to read. It states the Ann, Lucy and Edward were the children of Edward and Sarah.

Edward was buried in 1812 and Lucy in 1822, but I can't find Ann, although trees suggest 1826.
 
Some trees have Ann, the wife of Richard Thurlby, as the daughter of Edward and Sarah, born in 1791. Others say the the daughter of Edward and Sarah was born in 1796. However, most have her as the daughter of John and Ann.

Thanks for looking

I was hoping the gravestone would have her name as either Ann Thurlby or Ann Welbourn so we could tell who was who.

The Ann Thurlby who was buried 2 January 1868 at Denton was 75 so born circa 1793 either way her birth year is wrong.

Hail Mary
Anyone live in or near Denton going by the cemetery with a wire brush to remove the lichen to see if it gives a death date for Ann.

IF  Ann daughter of Edward and Sarah did die in 1826 then the one who married Richard Thurlby is the daughter of John and Ann.

Yet as Tazzie pointed out she would have been 22 and not needed the consent of her parents, or was it meant for Richard, how old was he in 1813?

Perhaps magintx can contact those who have a tree posted and find out what proof they have of Ann's death in 1826.

Thank you Everyone!  I really appreciate the clarifications.

In looking for sources I do not find any that aren't mentioned.  Some sites have definite dates for death but no sources besides burial date.

Richard would have been 26 and no consent needed either.  So would the consensus be it most likely be Ann 1796?  The more I go back and forth the more confused I become.

The gravestone" maybe" the key to Ann's death
Find out if someone has transcribed the headstones for the Denton cemetery.

You need to broaden your search Thomas and Mary had other sons namely  William 1763 and George 1767 who did they marry and did they have a daughter Ann?

Thanks!  Good plan to broaden the search.  There did seem to be about a zillion Ann Welbourns and that will help (if not confuse more) to straighten things out.

With consent of parents

There might be another explanation?
It was a new marriage register, only introduced in 1813. The first two entries say with consent of parents. There weren't many marriages at Denton, but I think the next entry which has consent of parents (just "parent" in this case) was in 1817.
It could just be the person making the entry took a little while to grasp this part of the form, and just filled in "parents" when there was no need?
It doesn't say Ann was a minor.
