Ann Gothard was a bit of a mystery and it took some time to identify her madien name and where she got married. Finally idenitifed her maiden name through the birth certificate of her daughter Maria, who was born 1846. From census returns she was born around 1816 in Shirland (exact date 6 Feb 1816, Shirland). On birth registration it gives her christian names as "Anne Greasby", so perhaps her mother's maiden name was Greasby?
