Ann married George Lye on 30 July 1804 in Haselbury Plucknett, Somerset, England. Ann and George appeared to have remained in Haselbury for the rest of their lives.

After George's death in 1848, Ann appeared to have lived with Thomas and his family, likely until her death in 1852.

1851 UK Census for Thomas Lye and family
|
1851 - Residence (UK Census)In 1851 Ann was living with her son, Thomas, and his family at North Cross in Haselbury Plucknett. Ann was recorded being 73 years old and a widow. Her accurate age would have been more like 71 years old, so whoever provided the information to the enumerator was off by a couple of years.
North Cross was recorded on the census as their place of residence. This was likely the name of the street they lived. Modern-day maps do not show any streets in Haselbury Plucknett names this, so the street names have likely changed over time. - Last updated 29 May 2017 Haselbury Plucknett, Somerset, EnglandSource: 1851 England Census, Haselbury Plucknett, Somerset, ED 1a, Folio 13, p. 19, Dwelling 73, N.
