I am looking into the life of an Ann Day (LCRC-CDB) bc 1797-1801 in Bower Chalke, Wiltshire on Familysearch.
Currently she is shown as a daughter of Sarah Day (LCMG-MSV) 1790-1870 which is most probably incorrect if Sarah's birth date of 1790 is accurate, as she would have given birth at around 11 years of age. I know in these times under English Law girls needed to be 12 years of age to marry but only 10 years of age for sexual intercourse. The man Sarah married in 1809, Thomas Golding/Goulding would have been around 23yo and she 19 years.
Not sure if it can be proved that Ann is Sarah's daughter or in fact her youngest sibling born to Sarah's mother, Jane Lawes (LCMG-MC9)?
If anyone can help throw some light on this I would be immensely grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Frank
