    Other Events:

    • Baptism: 13 Jul 1873, St John the Baptist, Burscough

    Notes:

    Birthplace given as Netherton in 1881 census. Age given as 20 in 1890 marriage record.
    The 1901 marriage record of Thomas Ashcroft names his bride as Ann Reynolds, 38, widow, daughter of boatman John Mather, but no such people have been traced.
    The 1911 census record has her aged 41, and her daughter Ellen's 1909 birth record gives mother's maiden name as Reynolds, so it seems more likely that her married and maiden names were transposed in the marriage record and that she was Ann Mather, daughter of boatman John Reynolds - except that her first husband, Henry Mather, is listed in the 1911 census as a widower.
    In the 1901 census Ann was living in Chorley with her brother John Reynolds while her husband Henry was on a barge in Skipton with Charles Patman of Blackburn. They appear to have had no children, so it may be that they had long been separated.

    Other Events:

    • Also Known As: Anne Watkinson
    • Baptism: 20 Jun 1824, Holy Trinity with St Mary, Tarleton

    Notes:

    There is some doubt over Ann's maiden name: the baptism record confusingly says she is the daughter of Barnaby Hesketh, spinster; and the marriage record for Thomas Hilton and Ann Edmondson (wid) gives the bride's father as Barnaby Hesketh. But the Ann widowed when William Edmondson died in 1848 married him as Ann Watkinson, with no father's name given. Also, the baptism record for their second child states: 'Surname originally entered as Watkinson, then deleted and replaced with Edmondson'.
