NameAnn Welsh, (later Welch)
Birth1842, Monkseaton, Northumberland
MotherAnn Welsh (1813-)
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                 Durham University Library
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
