Hi everyone
According to info gleaned from various census records, Annie Maria Bennett was b. abt 1868/9 in Brierley Hill, Staffs.
Working backwards from 1911, she's in Hucknall, married to Absalom Walker (she dies in 1948)
In 1901 she's in Hucknall with Absalom
In 1891, Absalom is with his mum in Hucknall, but Annie Maria is in Ormesby, Middlesborough with her baby daughter, father "Jesse", and four brothers (Josiah, Edward, John and William)

and then that's where the problems start.
In 1881 she (assuming it is her) is still in Ormesby with a different father (this one is called Josiah, and he's 14yrs older than "Jesse") but she still has brothers called Josiah, Edward and John who are 10yrs younger than they are in 1891 [William wouldn't have been born in 1881], plus a couple of older siblings and one younger one
Given the names, ages and places of birth of Annie, Josiah jnr, Edward and John, I'm inclined to think that this is the same Annie.
But no matter how hard I try, I cannot find her in 1871. According to Genes Reunited, there's an Annie Bennett b. 1868 on the 1871 census living in "Stourbridge, Kingswinford", but Ancestry won't pop it up for me.
I have established that Annie Maria and Absalom were married at Basford Registry Office, so there's no info available from Parish Records.
Can anyone else find her (and, therefore, her father/mother) in 1871, please?
Thanks for helping.
