Ann Burn (19 November 1780 - unknown)

parents: Ann Burn b: 19 November 1780 m: 22 February 1812 Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland + Thomas Bright b: appr 1780 d: after 1845

children: Mary Bright b: 8 August 1813 George Bright b: 13 August 1815 Hannah Bright b: 29 November 1818 Ann Bright b: 10 March 1822 Jane Bright b: 21 November 1824 m: 21 April 1845 Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland + Richard Howey Greensitt b: 20 July 1825

Thomas Bright was a glassmaker when each of his five children were baptised at All Saints Church, Newcastle. He was still a glassmaker at the time of his daughter Jane's wedding to Richard Greensitt in 1845.

In 1822, the family lived in Ball Hill.

Ann Burn was christened in All Saints Parish Church on 19 November 1780 by her father William Burn. Her younger brother William was christened three years later on 6 April 1783.

We believe that the William Burn who married Jane Stephenson on 1 October 1775 was Ann Burn's father.
