Hi Carol, Could well be that the Ann was added at her baptism. I know her mothers name so I hope I can now start to sort that puzzle out. Many thanks Kathlyn

Have you had a look to see if one of her siblings has been registered, perhaps you could work off that for mothers maiden instead.

You might not find a birth certificate as it was before 1875 when registration became compulsory. Maureen

Kathlyn, What about Sarah Simpson Mar 1871 West Ham 4a 55. Perhaps they added the Ann when she was baptised? All best, Carol

I have the 1871 census and SARAH ANN SIMPSON, aged 2 months, born in Plaistow is shown living with her parents, Thomas and Catherine, brother Thomas and sister, Mary Jane. The 1871 census was held on 2nd April. I have looked on Ancestry BMD JFM and AMJ, but cannot find a Sarah Ann Simpson. Any sugestions please. Kathlyn
