Ann Allam was baptised on 26th September 1788 at Great Hale in Lincolnshire, daughter of Mary Allam, formerly Matthews, and her husband John Allam, a carpenter. Ann appears to have been the couple's only child. In 1804, when Ann was fifteen years old, her mother Mary died.
The following year, on 2nd May 1805, Ann married Luke Ward, a carpenter who was nearly ten years older than her. They appear to have had twelve children together. The first two were baptised in the local parish church, but their younger children were not. Ann's father apparently became deacon of the Baptist chapel in neighbouring Heckington around 1810, and it would therefore seem likely that Ann and Luke also became Baptists around this time.
Ann's eldest daughter married in 1826, and Ann's first grandchild was born in 1827.
Ann's father died in 1841, leaving her and Luke several properties in Great Hale, including a windmill, for their lifetimes, after which the estate was to be divided between Ann and Luke's children. The 1841 census finds Ann and Luke and some of their children living on South Street in Great Hale.
Luke died in 1844, aged 65. In 1851 Ann was still living at South Street with her son Luke and some of her grandchildren. She was described as an annuitant, presumably living off the income received from her late father's estate in accordance with his will.
Ann died at Great Hale on 16th February 1857, aged 68. She had lived to see at least 39 grandchildren born in her lifetime, although some of those had died young. She was buried at the same church in which she had been both baptised and married. All twelve of her children survived her.

Baptisms for the year 1788 / Sept[embe]r / 26. Anne Daughter of John and Mary Allam Carpenter
This baptism has been linked to the Ann Allam who married Luke Ward on the basis of her father's will, which names his daughter as Ann Ward and names his son in law as Luke Ward. John Allam also witnessed the marriage of Luke Ward and Ann Allam, and this baptism corresponds with the place and time suggested by Ann Ward's appearance in the 1851 census.
