Was it possible to be a Roman Catholic Priest, as shown in 1851 census, and married?
Notes for Anne (Spouse 1)
Possible baptism There were only 2 Ann HARRIS baptisms recorded in Lower Mitton in the 1820s according to Family History Societies Online [Malvern Society's Worcestershire baptism records] and both only had mother recorded and only one in 1828 for Ann HARRIS in Stourport (Lower Mitton). As this date fits well with Ann’s birthdate there is likely that the following was her baptism and her mother’s name was Elizabeth HARRIS. This assumes Ann’s mother was not married but John Heywood could have been her father.
