But she was actually 45 ish. I’ve searched through all the records from 1841-1851 when I know she definitely wasn’t alive, including similar names and even her maiden name but this is the only death record I can find. So is it possible that the record states age 0 just because they can’t make out the correct age?

No death record fits either. So, I think I’ll record Ann as dying in 1841 as it seems likely and just put Henry’s birth parent as ? Or if anyone has any parish records of either Henry’s birth parents -1844 or of Margaret’s existence ( born 1828). There is a Margaret Robert(s) listed as a servant in Liverpool but this probably is a stretch of the imagination.
