Not that it's any help with Henry & Nancy, but - - - -

Mary 1798 may or may not have been Henry and Nancy's child.

I know Nancy can be a version of Ann, but this may (or may not) be a different couple - they had several other children as well as Mary.

Name Mary Harper
Gender Female
Christening Date 18 Nov 1798

Other children of Henry and Ann:

John 1809; Elizabeth 1812; Henry 1806; William 1808.
