Looking for Robert Taggart who married 15 dec 1850 to Ann Conn, at St. James church, walton on the hill, county Lancaster, is it possible that her full name wasnt put on her marriage certificate? as i have found reference to her later on to be known as Mary Ann Conn SEEM TO BE STUCK CONFIRMING THIS AND FINDING Robert Taggart Birth or death :(

marriage certificate my dad has states his father to be also called Robert Taggart(miller) Ann Conn's father is called James Conn (carpenter)

Robert Taggart and Ann Conn are both down on census to have been born in Harrington, Cumberland.

They Had four children William Taggart 1851, Robert Taggart 1854, H?Anna Marie 1857, John Taggart 1859
