Think this has been connected?

wits look like brother of Ann?

I know Ann has been connected but is the Baptism for Mary Ann the same person.

On Ann's marriage a witness is Hannah Downing...not triyng to complicate more!
Is there a death for a Mary?

Freereg death.
2nd January 1831. St Giles, Rowley Regis
Mary Ann Downing, Mincing Lane, 1 yr
Notes: small pox

I am totally confused.

The death is 5 months before the baptism.

There is a death for Joseph

How can she be buried before she is born and could she be Ann as i can find no baptism for Ann or Hannah who is a witness on Anns marriage to Thomas Tibbetts

I think leave it... You can't prove it if there is no info there!
Thank you KDW. I will archive now.
