Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 5,751 Send Message	Ann I thought the same as you..........but, having re-read the posting, I suspect that the marriage was 1816, not Ann's birth. It's a punctuation thing!

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 77 Send Message	thankyou Mel, what is most disturbing is that charles was born when Ann Blake was 'potentially' only 12 or 13 years old. i am praying tis is proved wrong and that Ann was born before 1805... it is most distressing to even consider this might have happened. best wishes to all and thank you all, as always debra :(

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 5,751 Send Message	It is a possibility that Ann Blake was a first wife.............and mother of the children................and that she died, and her widower re-married, coincidentally, to another Ann................a somewhat younger version. Only speculation, but it may be worth looking at......................
