Greetings,

Hope this isn't a duplicate as I hit some wrong button while writing a minute ago and the draft disappeared.

Thanks to a WORGAN researcher/poster, we now know the identity of Anne COSTER within the COSTER family. She's the d/o abt 1661- 1720 James COSTER and his first wife 1659-1690 Dorothy, nee WORGAN. (James brother of 1647 John COSTER II, thus uncle to John, Robert and Thomas).

Per the 1713 will of her grandfather, Thomas WORGAN (soon to be posted),
" ...... and unto my three Grand Daughters, Sarah, Dorothy & Ann (now the wife of John Thompson) my three brass pans, now in the custody of their father Mr James Coster ......"

A search and scroll [wildcards; by year; by parish; by father; by mother, etc.]of the FOD Transcripts failed to find anything re Anne [age 22 in the 1709 Marriage Allegation, so b 1787] and eliminated some previous thoughts.

She isn't Dorothy, also named in the will.

She isn't Mary either:
