Notes for Ann Welsh, (later Welch)
If the 1842 birth date in the 1891 census has any meaning, and if her mother's name was indeed Ann Welch, also as in the same census (see her son William's Notes for details), this somewhat late baptism might be hers:
First name(s) Ann
Last name Welch
Birth year -
Baptism year 1845
Baptism date 06 Apr 1845
Residence Hexham
Denomination Anglican
Baptism place Hexham
County Northumberland
Country England
Father's first name(s) John
Father's occupation Carrier
Mother's first name(s) Ann

Archive reference DDR/EA/PBT/2/138
Document type Bishop's Transcripts
Register type Baptisms, marriages & burials
Register year range 1837-1858
Page 258
Record set Northumberland Baptisms
Note that there are no records found for any Welsh surname.
Later note: A record has been found on Family Search of a marriage in 1881 between Ann Welsh and William Aynsley, with William shown as 31 with a father named William, and Ann shown as 23 with a father named at Henry Welsh, contradicting the above. Thos gives Ann a birth year of 1858.
However the 1991, 1901 and 1911 censuses following this marriage show:
William Ann George
Census age birth age birth age birth
----- --- ----- --- ----- --- -----
1891 41 1850 49 1842 17 1874
1901 52 1849 50 1851 27 1874
1911 62 1849 60 1851 37 1874
This can only suggest a serious difficulty in identifying Ann's birth date and parents.
________________
In 1871, I wonder if this was her, a general servant on a farm at Moor Houses, Preston, Tynemouth, Northumberland:
First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place

Isabella M Potts Wife Married Female 47 1824 - Northumberland
