Cecilia Ann Hickey

Life
An Ipswich cemetery transcription records "HICKEY | Cecilia Anne | | 27-Oct-1985 | 79." The spelling Anne is the record's variant of our family tree's Ann, and the stated age supports a birth in about 1905 or 1906.
Our family tree records her exact birth as 18 April 1906 and names William and Ellen Hickey as her parents. The cemetery entry does not state her exact birth or parents. It records her under Hickey, but that alone does not establish whether she remained unmarried or married and retained the surname.
How we know this: Moderate evidence supports her name variant, death date, and approximate birth year; her exact birth and parents remain family-tree. [1][2]
