Ann Done married to Edmonds confusion -Sandbach

[Milliepede]

just realised Birthdate 1st Feb 1879 and baptism 24th Aug, so it is posssible that Ann is his mum and she sadly did die after his birth.

Looking that way    and she was only 25.

The other nephew William  -

William Edward Edmonds - Dec 1874 Congleton - mothers maiden name Done

And a Sydney perhaps - Dec 1876 Congleton - mothers maiden name Done

[BumbleB]

There is a birth registration - June quarter 1879 - John Edmonds - mmn = Done - Congleton RD.  That nearly ties in with the 24 August 1879 baptism in Widnes, although the birth date given there is 1 February 1879 - parents =  William (Shoemaker) and Ann Edmunds of Sandbach

Think her age may be a little exaggerated?

22 September 1869 marriage - Middlewich:

Elizabeth Done - full age, widow - Father:  John Leech, Nailmaker

So...by the 1881 census, Ann Edmonds (was Done) has died and her son John Edward Edmonds is living with his  maternal grandmother Elizabeth and her new husband (following the death of both their spouses) James Rathbone?

You are all amazing and have unlocked a whole new set of doorways to discover / get confused by.
Thanks so much
