I also saw for the workhouse records 1870 birth and Kay I think you must mean first quarter of 1872. I will certainly have another look. I think also Polly was a nickname, only going on the faint Mary Ann? along side Polly in one of the Workhouse records. I am awaiting news on Tuesday about Henshaws deaf and dumb school to see if she attended there, so hope that might give some information. Did you look at the 1911 census for Mary Ann b Patricroft 1871, that's where it states she was deaf and dumb Many thanks.

Well after a needle in a haystack search there was a Mary Ann Moore b1872 Holywell Flintshire residing in St John's Deaf and Dumb Institute Wetherby, 1901 occ Laundry maid. . Going back to the information found so far with the connection of Mrs Hawcroft also being deaf and dumb and attending an institution herself in Boston Spa nr Wetherby also the 1911 census of Mary Ann Moore stating she was Deaf and Dumb also that she was a former laundress. This finding seems feasible except for where the birth places but then she could have been unsure exactly where she was born and put where she was living at the time. Saying all this I am still unable to find a Mary Ann Moore b1872 Flintshire in any other census but a death for one in Holywell Flintshire in 1955 so really unsure if it is the Mary Ann Moore I am looking for. Any ideas please
