She married George Thomas Horn in Berkhamsted in 1852. Susan and Thirza were both baptised in 1853. Walter George was born in 1857.
The marriage was to be short and marked by sadness: George died in 1857 and Thirza in 1858, aged only 4.
In 1859 Ann married Benjamin Horwood a labourer, whose first wife, Sarah, had died in 1855 after they had had six daughters and one son together.
In 1861 the merged family were living in The Pightle (now Highfield Road). There were Susan and Walter Horn; Benjamin’s daughter Sophia and son Charles by his first wife and Henry, his and Ann’s son, born in 1860.

By 1871 they had moved to Red Lion Yard. 14 year old Walter, was a labourer like his step-father and had taken his surname.
