..............so this Ann must have died between 1861 and 1871.

In which case this is a possible death for her?

Deaths Dec 1863 (>99%)
Griffiths Annie Maria Pancras 1b 68

...........so her name may have been Annie Maria, in which case this may not be your family at all????


You really need to start by buying the marriage certificate to see what it says.
