I agree - both original images are as you say. However it's obviously the same person don't you think?

Hi, I'm researching for my friend whose grandmother was Annie Baker B.1870 Nee Bray ( previously married to James Littlechild ) whose mother was Hannah Bray B. 1834 in Herefordshire. We cannot find any further information for Hannah previous to 1891. Can anyone help? Many Thanks. Wendy Green

Thanks. Yes could be Walkern. Hannah is listed as Grandmother. Annie's Father is unknown as Hannah is listed as a widow.

Which is 1891 you have for Annie...If her Father Unknown on Marriage Cert., not looking like the 1891 above then with William/Hannah...

Is her Birth on below?, to check on new GRO Index...

Is this sounding confusing, or what?, lol...

(if, anybody else adds, I'm not ignoring, but not here till later today!)
