Shirley - Ringley was a chapelry within the parish of Prestwich until 1898 (when it became a parish). The baptism would have been performed and recorded in the chapelry. It is not unusual for the parent parish to make a duplicate record of events that happened within its chapelries.

Re 1841 - ages of 15+ were supposed to be rounded down to a multiple of 5.
Assuming Ann is Wm & Ann's daur, you don't know she's the eldest child - just the eldest surviving child still living at home.

Mark, you didn't pick this Ann Hollinsworth out of thin air

what is your connection to her?

are you descended from a child, a sibling ... ?

you have to know something about her apart from her marriage

since you don't know who her parents were, you must know who a child was ... ??

is it that you have info about / are connected to William Hollinsworth and are investigating his wife?

if you know only who his parents are, say if he is a sibling of your ancestor, then it is reasonable that you would know nothing about his wife

do you not know anything about him other than that though?

if that is Ann's husband's death, he had a second wife per the 1861 census ... seems most likely not the same William as son Robert is younger than the son of William and Nancy, 1820 Bolton-le-Moors

Parish: Bolton le Moors, St Peter
Parish as it Appears: Bolton-le-Moors
