Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 5,751 Send Message	This is the family in 1841............the wife is much older than the 1851 version Name: Anne Shanga Age: 45 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1796 Gender: Female Where born: Gloucestershire, England Civil Parish: Tetbury Hundred: Longtree County/Island: Gloucestershire Country: England Registration district: Tetbury Sub registration district: Tetbury Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age William Shanga 50 Anne Shanga 45 Charles Shanga 20 Henry Shanga 18 John Shanga 16 Susannah Shanga 14 Frances Shanga 10 Ellenor Shanga 8 Anne Shanga 4 I think you may find it worth looking for a death and re-marriage on freebmd....unless the 1851 census has wrong info about Ann's age But at least it means she wasn't married at the age of 11!!

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......................

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	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!
