Ann Williams (1795–1836)

Ann Pigott's baptism, on 19 January 1796, was registered as Ann Pickitt. She married Peter Carroll (registered as Ann Pickett) on 21 December 1818.  It seems she converted to Catholicism as most of her children were baptised as Catholics. Following her husband's death in 1831 she married Francis Williams on 26 November 1832, signing her name as Ann Carrall.
