In common with most married women in the 1700s, my 6 x great grandmother Ann Axe gave birth approximately every two years - in 1779, 1782, 1784 and 1786 to William, John, James and Mary respectively. I anticipated finding another birth record in 1788, but instead I discovered Ann’s death record. Ann was buried on 15 January 1788. At the age of thirty-one, it’s possible that she died in childbirth.

@heidilifeldman Thank you. I have a lot more planned. I’m hoping to post one or two here every day.
