It certainly looks like they are one in th same. If her birth place was blank on the 1841 transcription then it means she wasnt born in that county. If you could find her baptism records in Dartford it may also proved it. Suzanne

Nancy is nowadays a name in its own right but in bygone times it was a pet name for ANN. I would get a birth cert of one of the children born after 1837 to see what the mothers maiden name really is. Don't forget that the LDS should be used as a Guide only until verification of an event is found from the local records office. It could be that Ann and Nancy are two different people - not ALL events are listed by the LDS and Ann could have died before 1833 marriage to Nancy. Only a possibility !
