Searching for parents of Ann THACKWAY b1781 (General)

Have you methodically searched thro this sites PRs for the Thackway name ?. By that I mean only input the Thackway name and input dates +/- 20 years, eg 1700, then 1720, 1740 etc. No other filters.
If you do this you'll see a Thackway family within the Much Marcle Parish, so not far from Ross etc, also in Ledbury tho' less relevant perhaps. By methodically doing this, you should be able to piece together each family group/generation and may well get clues as to Ann/Anne's parents. Dont forget to use spelling variations and allow for quoted ages to occasionally not tie-in exactly.

Now add a Parish Filter:
Looking for Ledbury Thackways there are only 15 PRs on this site. None of the Baptisms are around your Ann's period of 1790s, so for now I'd discount them.

However looking for Marcle Thackways there are 37 dating back to the early C18th, with quite a few Ann/Annes, suggesting this to be a "family" name, so perhaps your Ann is of this line ?. From them piece together the families by dates as above..

As your Ann was born abt 1780, look around about then, yes its time consuming reading all the PRs but often pays off:

Probably an infant mortality, hence no Baptism record ?.If so then I suggest they may well have had another Ann, but PRs missing, to continue the strong Ann line in the family ?
