Anna Hannore Dean

Welcome Dave,
I searched Mayo births/baptisms on www.rootsireland.ie/ for Anna Dean 1857 but git no matches; however for Anne there were 8 matches for 1857 + - 10 years but none is 1857.

8 matches for the search criteria: Dean (plus variants) Ann 1847-1867

The site is not sensitive to second names - none has second name Hanora.

This is the only 1 that mentions Honor so mybe that's a clue:

Col,

Thanks for the response and nice to meet you! The name Anthony appears in our line later but I'm rather confident on that birth date of 1857. She has been " the mystery woman " as my cousin who is very much into family history has put it. I have seen multiple documents with the name of Anna Dean on it but so far noth the correct one. I will not give up though! The thrill is in the hunt right?

You might want to have a look at Griffiths Valuation Dave; there are 56 Deans in Mayo.

There are none in Mayo in the early Irish Censuses but there are lots in other counties.
Could she have been FROM Mayo but born elsewhere?
e.g. there are 3 ANNA Dean records:
