• Notes

  Anne's baptism records shows Samuel Atkins as the father. The Celtic Orgins researcher, Avine Lydon, believes that the parish priest made an error in recording the father. Records were found for two other children of Anne Synnott. Their father was Joseph Atkins. Anne Atkins was the middle child and was not recorded as illegitimate, therefore her mother should have been married to her father. There was a Samuel Atkins in the parish, which might have been a brother and looked enough alike to be confused with Joseph. His wife was Mary Bryan. 1 •Immigration: 07 MAY 1860 Ship Lucy Thompson, New York, NY 2 Obituary 20 FEB 1891 •Note: Stafford - Feb. 19, 1891 at 713 48th st, Ann beloved wife of Peter Stafford, aged 53 years.
