Was really hoping to find her parents on 1851 by using occupation of father but not got a match. Have you got the couple on a later census. Maureen

just looking again at 1861 there is a william hope might be coincidence but one of the witnesses at ann and thomas's marriage was a janet hope ? the other was a john hall
