If you have Anna's marriage certificate, what was her father's name?? (If you don't have the certificate, the info for ordering it has been provided in your thread. She may not have given her (real) father's name when she married but it's worth checking.)
If you could copy and paste the info below to your thread, it would provide some more info that could be useful.
This is the household at the Green Man pub in Eversholt in 1881 -- is it possible that the Annie is your Anna?
Name: Annie N. Harris Age: 5 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1876 Relation: Daughter Father's Name: John Mother's Name: Emily Gender: Female Where born: London Minorie, London, Middlesex, England
Civil Parish: Eversholt County/Island: Bedfordshire Country: England
Street address: Church End Green Man Inn Occupation: L V Daur (licensed victualler's daughter)
Registration district: Woburn Sub registration district: Woburn ED, institution, or vessel: 4
Ann E. Dyson 59 Annie N. Harris 5 Emily Harris 37 John Harris 44 Mary E. Harris 16
Ah, rats -- that household has returned to London in 1891.
So I searched in 1891 for neighbours of the Green Man who were living there in 1881, and found the Ford household, still living next door to the pub. That gave me the link to the household at the put, once I looked at the census image to see who was there.
The household at the pub in 1891 is:
Name: William Willis Stubbs Age: 27 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1864 Relation: Head Spouse's Name: Adelina Hannah Gender: Male Where born: All Saints, Northamptonshire, England
Civil Parish: Eversholt Ecclesiastical parish: Eversholt Town: Eversholt County/Island: Bedfordshire Country: England
Registration district: Woburn Sub registration district: Woburn ED, institution, or vessel: 5
Annie Maria Collins 17 Adelina Hannah Stubbs 31 Gwendoline H M Stubbs 10/12 William Willis Stubbs 27
This is the young general servant (domestic):
Name: Annie Maria Collins Age: 17 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1874 Relation: Servant Gender: Female Where born: Woburn Sands, Bedfordshire, England
This doesn't seem to help much, but it does show who was living at the Green Man in 1881 and 1891, for what that might be worth!
Ah, but wait. The Fords have done us the great favour of still being there in 1901. And in 1901, the household at the Green Man Inn is:
Name: Arthur Wm Shillingford Age: 34 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1867 Relation: Head Spouse's Name: Mary Ann Gender: Male Where born: St James Soho, London, England
Civil Parish: Eversholt Ecclesiastical parish: Eversholt St John the Baptist Town: Eversholt County/Island: Bedfordshire Country: England
Registration district: Ampthill Sub registration district: Woburn ED, institution, or vessel: 5 Household schedule number: 52
Arthur Wm Shillingford 34 Ethel Maude Shillingford 1 Mary Ann Shillingford 31
Again -- no trace of your Anna or Nellie (Ellen?).
What you would need to do is find each of those households in the other years maybe, to see whether your girls were with one of them at a time when the household wasn't living in the pub.

Why do you have all those surnames in your title? Where do they fit in?

If you know the approximate date of the murder, you should be able to trace the death certs. which may give more information - the local library may have a newspaper archive. Liz

A marriage certficiate only says where someone was living at the time of the marriage, it doesn't mean they were born there. When was she born and what was her mothers name?

Hi, I've hit a brick wall with this one. The family story goes that my gt gt grandmother Anna Abulia Burdon was orphaned along with her sister nellie after her father william was hanged for the murder of her mother. She was brought up in the green man pub in eversholt, then married a dewberry. Her marriage certificate says she was from Houghton Regis in Beds but there is no trace of this.
Please help!
