_________________

In 1871 she had all her children with her except Lydia Marian who was at a boarding school in Wem, Shropshire and except her husband who was undoubtedly away on business.  But I put the list of this census on his Person Sheet to keep all the family information in one place.  She said she was "wife of ... of Mill".
_________________

From the archives in Bangor University from Wynn Hall, she was, at least in her youth, known as Minnie, possibly a corruption of Mary Anne.

The archives are at <https://archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/data/gb222-wynn/wynn/615> and comprise over 150 documents, etc.

Her granddaughter Katherine Maude Hill gave Minnie as her forename when she registered her mother's death, her mother being Mary Anne's second daughter, Annie Sara.

Thomas James was very probably a relation and Robert Wynn Kenrick may have been an error for her son Hubert Wynn Kenrick.
