Maybe Henry was living with Mary Ann but wasn't free to marry until 1873?

It gets weirder and weirder each time someone finds something
I know on Henry & Mary Ann's wedding certificate there is approx 20years between them, so possibly waiting for existing spouse to pass away prior to marrying.
Would explain why all the older children were baptized with the surname 'Poole Chant' at a much later date in Manchester. Possibly finally had opportunity to make it 'proper'.
Are you looking for connections to Hannah Burge also? Because I am pretty sure she is one of my ancestors. Hannah Burge, from Somerset. I think there were a few generations of Hannahs as traditional naming customs prevailed. Or are you looking at a couple of generations of people with the same first and last name and that is what is throwing you? Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
