If that is the right Phoebe?

There are other Shaw/Freeman births but those children are not with mother Ann?

edit it does look as if other siblings died?

Could phoebes mother also be called phoebe and they called her Ann.

This is the Freeman/Shaw family, bearing in mind the age discrepancies on the 1841 ( rounding up or down) this doesn't 'look' like Phoebe is the same person as Ann?
