Nell - no she was a Thompson at birth - I believe the child of Sarah Ann Shipley and John Thompson. John Thompson then dies and Sarah Ann marries John Gough in 1888 - Annie has taken the Gough name on the 1891 census. For some reason on the 1901 census she has been recorded correctly as Thompson, step daughter. |

So mum or dad used her stepfather surname in 1891 as she was only 6 and Annie herself reverted back to her own fathers name when she was old enough to make up her own mind. |

Well - that goes to show that you should ALWAYS check the image and not rely on the transcription. Have just had a look at the 1891 image for you and she has been put down by the enumerator as Annie Elizabeth THOMPSON Ancestry have transcribed her as Annie Elizabeth GOUGH !!!! Problem solved !!! |
