This is a spinoff from my Hudson thread. Just on the offchance that someone might spot something obvious I've missed.
So I've got a marriage between a John Hudson & a Mary Alt in Shepshed, Leicestershire in 1799.....when I REALLY wanted an Ann as a wife. There are a couple of other couples I'm following up, but one thing has struck me. Someone found me the baptism of Mary Alt on 13 July 1770 in Kegworth, Leicestershire, but it looks as though the entry refers to the baptisms of 2 girls....Mary & Ann Alt, the daughters of William & Elizabeth Alt (difficult to decipher...so any part of this may be incorrect)
Just wondering if there was really only one girl baptised & that was either Mary Ann or Ann Mary Alt & that, on her marriage she used the name Mary &, for other occasions Ann. (Can't find John & Mary later on)
So what I've been trying to do is to see if I can find out what happened to the Ann Alt baptised in 1770....obviously, if she died or married someone else, this would rule her out completely.
I think these families were agricultural labourers scattered throught Notts/Derbys/Leics. I've done my best to go through them & a friend has double checked Notts (she has the film for Notts), but none of the Ann Alts/Aults/Olds etc match.
If anyone can spot this Ann Ault marrying or dying at all, but especially between 1770 & 1799 (when John Hudson & Mary Alt were married), I'd be very grateful
