Research Notes

There were many Ann Rays born in the London area about the time she would have been born. Bermondsey is 7 miles from Wandsworth and is the closest baptism to the year of birth estimated from her death in 1800..

There was also an Ann Ray baptised 1740 at St. Botolph withoud Aldgate^[6], and Ann Ray bapt. 1751 at St. George in the East^[7], and one baptised at 1752 at St. Mary Whitechapel^[8].

All trees on Ancestry have incorrectly recorded her dying in 1828 in Islington - this isn't possible as her husband William remarried as a widower in 1802, and there is a more likely burial for her in Wandsworth in 1800.
