Is she the one on Ancestry who is 7 weeks old?
The last name is transcribed as Consturt. It could be that. She's in Droxford Union Workhouse, Hampshire.

thanks claire.
just had another look and looks like mary sykes is mary anns mother. name of SYKES.mum and baby are not together on 51.then on 61 mary has another little girl name of jane age 4yrs and back in the workhouse (same one same place).
cannot find anything on her first baby regards death or birth details.may-be she was adopted.

Oopsie! I had the wrong one! Yes, she's transcribed Mary ann Sybres but I think it's Mary Ann Sykes. Also between the 25 yr. old Mary Ann Sykes and baby Mary A is a 25 yr. old John Hobson, shoemaker. (The father perhaps?)

I think that the word written after the babies' names is just "monthes". It was then crossed out and "mos" put in the age column.
