Biography

Ann was born about 1706. Birth or Baptism details for Ann have not been located. Year of Birth is based on the assumption that she was "of full age" when she married. There was an Ann Gander Christened in 1704 in Wisborough Green, Sussex, England. However, Ann Gander of Wisborough records that Ann Gander marrying John Beer in 1729 and having 6 children.

Ann married Robert Brownsford in North Curry, Somerset, on 11 Feb 1727. ^{[1] [2] [3]} They had 7 children: William (b1728); Hannah (b1735); Rachel (b1737); Robert (b1737); Ann (1741-1741); Ann (b1743); Sarah (b1743). ^[4] Unfortunatey none of the available marriage sources provide ages or details of parents.

Ann may have passed away in North Curry in 1763. ^{[5] [6]} However available sources don't give an age at death that confirms the match.
