Research Notes

    The OPC site for Affpudle has online transcriptions - yeilds the same two children as the LDS
    There is an Ann Stickland christening: 24 May 1745 Puddletown, Dorset, only three miles west of Affpuddle, parents Robert or Robin and Mary Stickland.
    However the standout is Anne Stickland christening: 06 Oct 1754 Winfrith Newburgh. While she would be marrying at age 17, her parents are Richard and Grace - the names of the two children in LDS
    I reckon the Richard and Grace Ann(e)  is an 80% chance.
    For what it is worth, there is an Ann Stickland marrying 26 Oct 1767 in  Tincleton.  Tincleton is two miles from Puddletown and six miles from Winfrith Newburgh
