It is quite possible for any name to be right. She may not have liked the name Catherine and told everyone to call her Mary Anne or vice versa. It is not easy to tell which is correct but I would assume her birth certificate is, as that is the name given to her by her parents. |

My grandfathers birth cert gave parents at Charles Frederick and Annie. Turns out to be Augustus Frederick Charles and Johanna |
