Bio: I think that Ann was the daughter of Thomas and Mary Pool(e), there is a record of the baptism of an Ann Poole in 1786 which ties in with the age of this Ann. The censuses she is present on give her place of birth as Haverhill. She married William Whiting in 1810, and went on to have a number of children before the 1841 census where she is listed as living in Burton End, Haverhill with William and their children Samuel and Rebecca.

On the 1851 census, Ann is living with husband William in Burton End with their son Samuel, who has been widowed recently. Her age is given as 67.

An Ann Whiting died in 1853 in Burton End and was buried at St Mary's Parish Church. William's wife is really the only candidate to be the Ann who is buried here.
