Research Notes

• The inscription on Ann's gravestone/monument states she was born on Sunday 27 July 1817, a "Native of Yorkshire England". Her death certificate states she was born in Lancashire England (the informant being David Mayoh). The birth certificate of James Mayoh states Ann was born in "Hale Yorkshire", the informant being a William Mayo (sic) who was probably William Charles Mayoh (born 20 March 1838). There is no Hale in Yorkshire but there is a Hale in Lancashire. A search by the C.R.O.L. of the Church of England bishop's transcripts for Hale Lancashire for the period 1815 to 1819 has failed to reveal the baptism of Ann Windross. Ann's NSW immigration record states her religion was Methodist and that the person certifying her Registry of Baptism was a minister named Joseph Gill and the personcertifying character as William Probert, Minister of Walsley. In February 1837 when the Egerton Independent Chapel birth and baptism register was handed over to the Commissioners of Non-parochial (Nonconformist) Registers a statement accompanying the register was signed by Joseph Gill, Minister of Egerton Independent Chapel in the township of Turton in the Parish of Bolton Lancashire. The Egerton Independent Chapel may possibly have also been known as the Walmsley Independent Chapel as the front cover of the register is inscribed "Register. Walmsley Independent Chapel 1812." and a note by Joseph Gill on Folio 12 of the register (immediately preceeding all baptism records made by him) states "Joseph Gill entered on his Pastoral Charge over the Church at Walmsley on the Second Sabbath in April 1818". The register contains no entry for any Windross or similar surname. There is also no Windross (or similar)entry in the Walmsley Presbyterian Register but one of the places listed as an address is a Hale in the township of Longworth in the Parish of Bolton Lancashire (this would be a different place to the Hale mentioned before as that Hale would be a chapelry in the Parish of Childwall Lancashire)
• Ann's immigration record states that she could read and that her occupation was s house servant ( Ann along withThomas Mayoh and William Charles Mayoh arrived in Sydney NSW on Thursday 11 March 1841 as assisted immigrants, on the ship BROTHERS). There is no mention in her immigration record of her being able to write. It gives her age as 28 (therefore born 1812 or 1813).
• The immigration record states her to be native of Bolton Lancashire but the C.R.O.L. have searched the Bolton Lancashire Nonconformist (Methodist, Unitarian, etc.) registers for her baptism without success.
• There are no details known about brothers or sisters.

• Donald John Steel mentions in his book NATIONAL INDEX OF PARISH REGISTERS - VOLUME 2: SOURCES FOR NONCONFORMIST GENEALOGY AND FAMILY HISTORY (V.S.L.) that there was a general fluidity of denominational labels in the 18th and early 19th century Methodists often being used indifferently. He also mentions that most of the 18th and 19th century churches described as Presbyterian are now known as Unitarian.
• This fluidity of denominational labels could account for Thomas Mayoh's religion being shown as Methodist on his NSW immigration record even though he had been baptised in the Walmsley Presbyterian Chapel.
