	ErikaH - Thank you Brilliant as always. Yes she has siblings and found most of their baptisms but not Mary Ann's. Nameslessone - Thank you. The reason i wanted to see if there was a baptism record is someone who has given me some information on Mary Ann has her baptised many miles away from where she was born (over 200 miles ) I hoped I could find another baptism. I also try to add as much info to my tree as I can and baptism records have been very helpful in the past. Thank you both once again I will mark this post as answered
