Annie died on January 25, 1990.  Her age given on the death certificate was 38, making her year of birth circa 1852.  The cause of death was blood poisoning following a delivery of a stillborn Baby Boy.

Anna’s age in the 1870 census is listed as 18, making her year of birth circa 1852.  Without an actual birth/christening record, it will be impossible to tell what her correct year of birth is, but I am inclined to think that the transcription of the emigration was incorrect and her birth year is circa 1852.
