Ann Winterton was born at Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England the fourth child and first daughter of William Hubbard and Sarah Marriott Winterton. At an early age she was put to work in the textile factory near their home.
Within the year following her birth her parents joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and when she was about fourteen her father and two older brothers left England for Utah.
She soon became a skilled lace maker and was able to save a few pennies a day toward her passage to America and the land of Zion in the Tops of the Mountains in North America. It took six long years of saving before she too could leave England and the unbearable factory surroundings.
Ann had friends who had no more opportunity for schooling than she did, but that did not prevent them from participating in the Nottingham Choir and singing songs and Christmas Carols at Church and on public streets and neighbors homes. She and Nellie Widdison, who later married her brother William, were close pals during their teenage years and later lived as neighbors at Chareleston, Utah for five short years before her untimely death.
Ann Winterton and Nellie Widdison arrived in Salt Lake City in September 1869, the first year that the railroad was completed and was probably on one of the trips scheduled during its first summer of operation. Her first stop in Salt Lake was to visit her father and then went to Wasatch County to visit her brothers, John and William. It was while there that she met and fell in love with a young man who lived a few miles from her brother's place. Ann left England on 28 Jul 1869 aboard the sailing vessel "Colorado."
It has been said that Ann and her pal Nellie did not encourage the boys to date them in England, but once in Utah Ann lost no time in obtaining husbands for themselves and wives for her brothers. Brother John married Emma Noakes in October 1869 and four months later on 21 Feb 1870 at a double wedding Nellie married Brother William and Ann married Emma's brother George Washington Noakes. Ann and George were the parents of three children and lived in Charleston where Ann died 26 Feb 1875, three weeks after the birth of her third child.
