Birth Notes
Aged 28 in 1861, Born Tenbury
Aged 35 in 1871, Born Worcester
Aged 40 in 1881, Born Tenbury
Aged 50 in 1891, Born Rochford
Aged 60 in 1901, Born Rochford (Rockford on Index)
Rochford is a small vilage about 1 mile east of Tenbury Wells, so this is the more likely place where Ann was born. Tenbury is then the obvious registration district, but there are no Births registered here for Ann. It appears Ann is older, and probably the age given in 1871 is her correct age. Then we find a Church IGI record for ann, christened at Rockford.

Death Notes
An IGI record has Ann's parents and exact date of death. The FreeBMD record gives an approximate age of 76, but Ann did loose about 5 years on her age between the 1871 and 1881 census records, so is clearly the same person.
