Hello Jan The best way to find out if Ann Beavers was widowed Ann Allen is to send for a copy of Zachariah's marriage certificate. You can do this on line wherever you live in the world. I don't know what the cost is now as I haven't sent for any certificates recently. The Beavers/ROCKET marriage is in Free BMD so you can find the reference for ordering a certificate. I have checked the 1841 census and there is a BAVOIS family living in Wendling with a daughter named Ann who would have been the right age to marry in 1844/5. The surname is spelled BAVOIS on the census form and the father is an Ag Lab. Good luck! Elizabeth Pugh Yukon Canada
