By May of 1852 Ann was living in Lord Street, Preston and married James Ingram, who was a botanist or surgeon. On the marriage certificate she recorded her age as being twenty-two and marital status as 'spinster'.

In 1860 James and Ann Eliza have their third son, William, in Sunderland. By the time of the 1861 census Ann Eliza was living with James's parents in Sunderland with their three sons. It does not appear that James is living at this address.

The 1881 census records that Ann Eliza is re-married to Francis Birkett and lives in Ryhope, Sunderland. He is a coal miner from Scotland and is ten years her senior. Also present are four of her sons fathered by James, all described as stepsons of Francis.

By the time of the 1901 census Ann is living in Hartlepool with her son Thomas Ingram and grandson Edward G. Ingram. She is 68 years old and is recorded as the head of the house. There are three other households of Ingrams in Hartlepool headed by Thomas (b.1846 in Ireland), James (b.1864 in Hartlepool) and Andrew (b.1878 in Hartlepool).

The birthplaces of her six known children and occassional census records suggest that she may have lived in the following places:
1831 - Preston, Lancashire, where she was born
1852 - Preston, Lancashire, when she marries James Ingram
1853 - Burnley, Lancashire, where her eldest son, John Henry Ingram, is born
1858 to 1861 - County Durham, where her second and third sons were born
1862 - Gateshead, County Durham, where her fourth son, Jas, is born
1865 - Merrington, County Durham, where her fifth son, Septimus, is born
1869 - Sunderland, County Durham ,where her sixth son, Aurthur, is born
1881 - Ryhope, Sunderland, where she resides at the time of the 1881 census
1901 - Hartlepool, where she resides at the time of the 1901 census

I am not certain when Ann died but a death is recorded of a 79-year-old Ann Birkett in Mar 1910 in County Durham. As her last known address was in Hartlepool, County Durham in the 1901 census this has a good chance of being her.
