Ann Ainscough
was born in Blackrod around 1869 and was the daughter of Ralph Ainscough
(b.1841) and Ellen Booth. In 1871 she was aged 2 and living at 13
Little Scotland in Blackrod. In 1881, she was aged 12, working as
a cotton operative and living at 434 Top Toll Bar in Westhoughton.
In 1891, she was aged 22, working as a cotton weaver and living with
her parents at 256 Chorley Road, Westhoughton. In 1891, Ann had a
1 year old daughter called Sarah by a man named Holt and was a single
parent. In 1901, aged 32, she was still living with Ralph and Ellen,
at 306 Manchester Road, Westhoughton, and had either married Holt
or was styling herself Ann Holt. There was no mention of her husband
at the Manchester Road address; however, he may have been the same
James Holt who was seriously injured in the accident that killed Samuel
Winward.
