It certainly looks as if either, 1) she was married twice, or 2) William Smallwood married a Cook (as per your Hayton marriage) with children and she calls him her father. Ozi

	I can see the problem. On the 1871 census George Smallwood was listed as her father. I wonder if she was Ann Smallwood who was previously married to a Cook?
