The ROBERT whose children were Wesleyan was a Church minister, and as I pointed out before there is nothing I can see to suggest that Mary had a second forename.

You have put Ann as part of your title, but not shown any records with Ann in her name.

so does that make John a minister of the church as John's will states a carpenter of HM ship Fortitude, daughter Mary Smith Renshaw and wife Hester are beneficeries
oh what a tangled web
