Commentary

Ann is presumably related to the Richard Pardoe and Susannah Pardoe who were witnesses at her wedding. Richard and Susannah were children of John Pardoe and Susannah Burrow of Ombersley. Richard was buried in Claines in 1828. I have not identified a baptism for Ann. Richard and Susannah had two sisters baptized: Mary in 1774 and Sarah in 1779. I wonder if Mary might have been also known as Mary Ann, and identical with the Ann of this page....
