   Although the name here is given as Ann rather than Elizabeth Ann it is considered to be the same person on the basis that:
   A. There is no corresponding entry in the civil deaths index for an 'Ann Scriven'; and
   B. The burial otherwise matches Elizabeth Ann, for whom there is an entry in the civil deaths index but not in the Crewkerne burials as 'Elizabeth Ann'.
