Yes, Ann was there, she was in a different batch number, the previous one only went up to 1875.

1. Ann Handley - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 04 MAR 1877 Chilvers Coton, Warwick, England

Double checked the previous one and it said that Frederick Michael died 27 Sep.1872. I guess that's why grandmother didn't know about him. But the spiritualist did!!!
