Mike,

You may remember the debate with Dave Turton about whether the daughter born
at Start Point was Amy or Annie as she appears in the 1881 census in
Anglesey as Anny E S.

There are only two Ann or Amy STEER births recorded in Kingsbridge during
1872 and 1872

Q2 1872 Amy Elizabeth S STEER GRO 5b 206

Q4 1872 Ann STEER GRO 5b 222

As Amy appears as Anny E S, it's a fair bet that she was Amy Elizabeth S



Regards

Jack Steer
