Notes - She was admitted to the Broad St. Workhouse, Holborn on Tues 13 July 1880, age given as 71, occupation "Charwoman".
At the 1881 Census, where she was still at the workhouse, her place of birth is given as Marylebone, but I assume this was a generic description for somebody who probably did not know where she was born. The census otherwise seems too good a match to be for somebody else.
I have not found a suitable record for her baptism. However if she was a widower, not spinster, when she married in 1861, then she might be baptised Mary Ann MORGAN, daughter of Henry and Ann, married Richard COSTER Q1, 1846 in Southampton
