Research Notes

No death or marriage can be found for Ann yet. She may have returned to Cambridgeshire with her sister or remained in the City of London.

Ann's brother John had also lived at Talbot Court, St. Benet Gracechurch but had moved to Clerkenwell by 1849 and Haggerston by 1851 and had died, probably at Haggerston by 1861. It is possible Ann may have also lived in Haggerston with the brother and sister in law from 1851-1861.

A burial entry on the 19th October 1851 at Bermondsey, Surrey, England^[5] provided by Gillian needs further investigation. There is no corresponding death registration for this burial entry, and the transcript at Family search does not give an age or give the name of the specific non-conformist burial ground.

This burial entry can not be found in the All England & Wales, Non-Conformist and Non-Parochial Registers, 1567-1936 Bermondsey, London [sic] (RG4) available at Ancestry, or London, England, Non-conformist Registers, 1694-1931.
