1823 - Marriage Register - Jacob Ford and Mary Ann Lester

1841 Census

Now living at Tower Street, Wolverhampton in Staffordshire, Jacob, aged 35 was working as a Tin Plate Maker. With Jacob was his wife Mary Ann aged 40, his son Thomas, aged 8 years and his daughter, Mary Ann, just 1 year old.

1848 - Possible Death of Daughter, Mary Ann Ford

I can't be positive, but it looks fairly likely without further evidence that Jacob's daughter died at 8 years old on April 24 in 1848 in Wolverhampton.
