Commentary
Ann’s parentage
Ann was married in 1763 in Whitehaven. She had a child baptized there in 1775, and one buried in 1779 that was probably born after 1775. This suggests that Ann was most likely born in the 1730s or 1740s. I have found only one plausible baptism: in Moresby in 1734 (father John Kelly).
John Kelly had three children baptized in Moresby and one in Whitehaven. Ann, baptized in 1734, was the eldest. John Kelley married Mary Harrison in Moresby in 1733.
