I am searching for an Ann MOORE baptism circa 1787 Devon/Dorset, possibly Uplyme Devon. She married John LOVELESS in Charminster 1816 after wiched they had 6 children of which at least the last four were baptised in the Wesleyan Chapel Axminster Devon.

On Ancestry etc Ann is called either Ann, Ann Mary, Mary Ann ......

Any thoughts?

Possible? On her marriage she is stated to be of the parish of Uplime (and John from Burton Bradstock).

(Interestingly, one of the witnesses to Ann's 1816 marriage was an Agnes Case- there is a marriage in Uplyme in 1831 for an Agnes Case to a William Moore. Possibly Ann's brother?? Not sure how common the name is in the area)
