There is some confusion over the baptism of Ann. There are two records of baptisms of Ann to Thomas (a Mariner) and Mary in the Poplar district of London.
The first record shows Ann being baptised on the 29th Apr 1829 (unfortunately no birth date is shown).
The second record shows a baptism on the 31st Oct 1831. This would normally suggest that the first Ann had died but this second baptism record gives a birth date of 5th Feb 1825, also Ann's father Thomas had died at sea on the 12 Feb 1829.. In the 1851 census, Ann gives her age as 24 (31 Mar 1826 to 30 Mar 1827)

See scrapbook for images of the two baptism records.
