• Notes

  Shearman in baptism record, Sherman in marriage record. Murdered by her second husband, William Worthington, who was executed in Liverpool four months later. Ann's first husband died aboard canal boat Jessie three years before daughter Emma was born on the same boat with no father named - perhaps he was William Worthington.
