Notes
ANNIE PATCHETT 1864 or 1866-1904
The registration of Annie PATCHETT's birth in Leake or Old Leake between 1864 and 1866 has not been traced in the GRO indexes for the Boston Registration District in Lincolnshire. The only possible registration in Lincolnshire is in Grantham Registration District. I have found no evidence that her baptismal name was Marie Ann or that she was born on 15 April 1865 in Spilsby, Yorkshire. Spilsby is I believe in Lincolnshire and was perhaps being confused with a different Lincolnshire place named Sibsey. The evidence of the 1871, 1881, 1891, and 1901 census records, as well as her marriage and death registrations, is difficult to refute.
The 1871 census of Simon House, Leake, Lincolnshire:
Jessy CAUDWELL, head, aged 24, unmarried, born at Frithville, Lincolnshire;
