I have looked up the 1861 U.K. Census and details are as follows:
Piece RG9/1340.....Folio 52, Page 23........St.James, Poole, Dorset....
Address....1 Green Lane,
Robert CANN...Head...Married...36yrs.....Iron Founders Foreman...Born
Marcham, Devon.
Mary A. Cann....Wife....Married....32yrs....born Exeter, Devon.
Robert...Son..11yrs...Scholar....born Exeter Devon.
Ellen...Dau....9yrs...Scholar...born Exeter, Devon
Mary A. H.....Dau...8mths...born Poole, Dorset.
Marriages Dec 1846
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two Possible surnames for Mary A.............Hutchings or
Symes............May I suggest it could be Hutchings as the daughter on the
Census is named Mary A. H....and this could be 'H' for Hutchings......

Dear Sally,
I am delighted with the information you have sent. It is just what I
needed and the speed of your response is really impressive. I had found
the list of possible brides, but did not know which one to choose. I
find your reason for selecting Mary Ann Hutchings convincing because
past and present members of my family have ancestor's names added to
their forenames.
Thank you.
Barbara
