Great Great Aunt of W.P.
'Bill' Richardson
Ann was born in Darlington in about 1839, the third child of Thomas Walton and
his wife Jane (nee Olivant).
She was baptised on the 13th of December 1839 at St Cuthberts Church in
Darlington.
On the 1841 census Ann was recorded with her mother and two sisters in
Darlington Workhouse. She was 3 years old. I don't know what happened to her
father Thomas or what happened for the family to be in the workhouse.
On the 1851 census, Ann was living at number 2 Bridge Row, Darlington and
working ( at the age of 11) as a domestic servant for Benjamin Walton and his
family. I have not yet been able to establish if Benjamin was a relative.
I have not been able to find a record of Ann after the 1851 census other
than she was a witness at her sister Catherine's wedding on the 21st September
1861.
