May I ask how you found out she was a relative if you don't have anythinmg on Ann Wells, I ask as you may have a few dates which you forgot to list? I have no idea if yours but, On the Minster 1841 Census there is Ann Wells aged 65, Gardener. Her son John is living with her, aged 30 No occupation listed. Also a William Wootton aged 13. Next door is an Ann Wells aged 25, living or working for a William Tappenden aged 32. Maybe this Ann is a daughter. Class: HO107; Civil Parish: Minster; County: Kent; Enumeration District: 2; Page: 2 A John Wells Married Q Sep 1843 in Thanet. Possible death (only one from Sep 1837-1851) No Ann on 1851 Census. Deaths Dec 1847 Wells Ann Thanet I 5389 Good luck Suzannah ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Hobbs To: ISLE-OF-THANET@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, September 29, 2006 10:21 PM Subject: [SPAM] [ISLE-OF-THANET] The Widow Ann Wells Several years ago I obtained a copy of a tourist pamphlet "Discovering Old Minster" printed by the Thanet District Council. On the acknowledgements portion of the pamphlet was a cartoon picture of a lady in a hot-air-balloon. Apparently that woman is the widow Anne Wells who staged hot-air-balloon ascents from her Tea Gardens during the 1820's (formerly the White Horse Inn on Church Street?). This woman was one of my ancestors and I have had a lot of difficulty finding out anything about her. Can anyone help with any information about her, her family, parents,siblings etc?
