   My first thought that Annie's full name was Elizabeth Ann Fletcher, and    
   for some reason she started using her middle name instead of her first    
   name.   This can happen for many reason and can cause significant    
   confusion for the genealogist.   
      
   I assume Elizabeth and Annie birth place is the same.   
      
   Some times you can guess at the second marriage when there is a gap in    
   the children's birth date.  ie the first three average a birth every two   
   years,  there is a four year gap and the the children are born every    
   three years
