I think you could be right, Maureen. It could easily be the correct name. Charlotte is even Charlotte H., which adds a bit of weght to that idea too. Gwyn

Gwen, Thanks for checking. A lot of the 1871 info matches including the occupation of James. Also living in the same area as the marriage. Maureen

Thanks so much for all your help,i have to agree with you guys,it does add up,but i havent found a death for Ann? Warmest wishes Danuella
