No - it's abpout 10 miles west of Loughborough. Jim

Tom. Just looked at 1881 and the same family show all the birthplaces as Bardsley .. which is where they are living. So birthplaces look unreliable. Only way to check is to get marriage certificate. Jim

yes, but that is Ashby in Leicestershire, not Lincolnshire.

Cole Orton less than 3 miles from Ashby. Jim

hi, sorry, had to go away again. I don't think it is her - as she is a witness in 1862 (signing under Davenport) and she was born in Coleorton, Leicestershire. thanks anyway.

If wedding is correct, this could be family in 1871. THERE ARE AT LEAST THREE OTHER tAYLOR FAMILIES ON SAME CENSUS PAGE. 1871 England Census Record about Ann Taylor Name: Ann Taylor Age: 31 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1840 Relation: Wife Spouses's Name: Joseph Gender: Female Where born: Ashton Under Lyme, Lancashire, England Civil Parish: Ashton under Lyne Ecclesiastical parish: Bardsley Town: Knott Lanes and Woodpark County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Ashton Under Lyne Sub-registration district: Knott Lanes ED, institution, or vessel: 5 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 56 Household Members: Name Age Ann Taylor 31 Benjamin Taylor 7 George Taylor 5 Joseph Taylor 30 Lees Taylor 2 Source Citation: Class: RG10; Piece: 4068; Folio: 115; Page: 9; GSU roll: 846349. Does that meet the challenge? Jim

Hi, sorry for the delay. Yes- that's her birth, but her baptism is just under Ann. siblings: Thomas Stinson Davenport 1838 William Davenport 1839 Ann Ayre Davenport 1841 John Ayre Stinson Davenport 1842 Joseph Stinson Davenport 1845 John Henry Davenport 1848 Theresa Jane Dabenport 1849 (mother's maiden name was Stinson). I don't know if Ann married - can find no record of her after 1861/1862.

Is this her birth? Name: Ann Ayre Davenport Year of Registration: 1841 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Ashby De La Zouch County: Derbyshire, Leicestershire Volume: 15 Page: 2[3_] (click to see others on page)

Do you know anything else about her?Did she marry?

I am trying to find what happened to Ann Ayre Davenport. (sometimes known as Annie) (She wasn't illigitimate - Ayre was her grandmother's maiden name), I know that Ann Ayre Davenport was born c1841 in Coleorton, Leicestershire and that she is living at home in 1841 and 1851 and in 1861 she is living with her grandmother. This is the last I can find of her in Leicestershire. However, I have her as a witness at my ggg grandad's marriage in 1862 in Islington in London. Can anyone find anything?
