52 Relatives: Ann Richman (1851-1853) of Hilperton Marsh, Wiltshire

 I have posted over 500 genealogical sketches of  my ancestors back through the 7th great-grandparents - see the list in 52 Ancestors Biographies.  

I started a new weekly series called "52 Relatives" to document the lives of siblings of my ancestors with relatively short genealogical sketches with events and source citations.  They lived and died, and deserve a sketch also - they were integral parts of the lives of my ancestral families.  I will post the sketches on my Ancestry Member Tree and in the FamilySearch Family Tree. 

                                               ================================= 

Ann Richman was born before 16 November 1851 in Hilperton Marsh, Wiltshire, the first daughter and third child (of nine) of James and Hannah (Rich) Richman of Hilperton Marsh.[1]  She was baptized in the Staverton St. Paul's parish church of the Church of England on 16 November 1851.[1] 

Ann was certainly named for her mother (Ann (Marshman) Richman) and her grandmother (Ann (Angel) Marshman).   

Ann died at the age of one year and five months before 27 April 1853 in Hilperton Marsh.[2]  She was buried in the Staverton St. Paul's parish church.[2]  

During this time, the James Richman family resided in Hilperton Marsh, which is closer to the Staverton parish church than the Hilperton parish church.

Ann Richman (1851-1853) was my great-grand-aunt, the sister of my paternal great-grandfather, Thomas Richman/Richmond (1848-1917).
