hi Anne.  Taking the liberty to ask for your help again - if you have the time-  was hoping to make the journey to my old home in the autumn but  things happened and I didn't get there.

My grandfather, Francis Meadows 1844 has in his IGI Family Group Record 2 daughters, Fanny b. 1874 in Earl Soham and Annie b 1886 in South Cove.
Fanny turns up in 1881 census aged 7 but then appears to disappear.  Annie married John Christian George Collett on 8th Feb. 1893 in Wangford - her age was given as 21 - Spinster, which puts her birth date near to 1874 rather than the 1886 shown in the IGI record.  I am wondering if these two are in fact one and the same and there was a change of name but the two dates 12 yrs apart and the different birthplace, or christening venues are puzzling.

If you have the time - whenever convenient - to show some light here I would be most grateful.  best wishes Yvonne
