Ann Winder was the second child of Edmond Winder & Elizabeth Dawson christened November 9th, 1753 at St Michaels, Bray, Berks.
In 1771 Ann received a legacy of £100 from her uncle Thomas Dawson who died in that year.
Ann, a minor, married Robert Henderson on April 25th, 1774 at St Michael's, Bray, Berks. At the time of their wedding Robert, a carpenter & joiner, was of St Mary le Strand, London. A bondsman was John Boult, farmer of Bray & he was also a witness at the wedding along with Vernon Wells.
Ann & Robert benefited from the will of Ann’s mother in 1781 by receiving £10 pounds each for mourning & Ann also received a share of her mother’s wearing apparel. Their daughter Elizabeth was also favoured by her grandmother & was bequeathed a silver tankard and £50 to be given to her on reaching 21 years or when she married.
Robert was a carpenter & he & Ann were living at Maidenhead in the Parish of Bray, Berks when Robert wrote his last will & testament. This was written on March 5th , 1800 & he named the executors as his wife, Ann, & his brother-in-law Edmund Winder. The will, 4 pages long, was proved on July 5th , 1800. Robert was clearly a thrifty person & requested that his burial be ‘in a private manner & with as little expense as possible'. He left detailed instructions for his wife & son Robert which would enable his business to continue & yield financial benefit for them. He was anxious to provide a home & monies for his wife, son & 4 daughters & to ensure his children's education. Robert states that his first 3 daughters have been educated & brought up at ‘considerable expense’ & bequeaths to each of them £20 only. He wishes his youngest daughter Susanna to be maintained by her mother until the age of 23 unless she thinks it proper to ‘put her out to trade or employment’. Susanna was to receive through the executors the sum of £31.10s out of Robert’s business & be supplied with clothes & pocket money.
