Thank you for looking that up, Frances----very helpful in eliminating Ann Wade from the list of illegitimate births to a woman who might have been the mother of the Ann Caley who married James Thompson.

Just out of interest, was there a mention of a James Caley in that particular court session ? What were the possible reasons for a court date of 20th May 1853 being set , as marked in the margin of the Lonan burial register entry for John Caley on 18th April 1853 ?
