Ann may have been the widow of Henry Buck of St Paul's Churchyard, who died in 1750. Its been suggested that she established her own business in Holborn after his death, but this is questionable because she was trading earlier, as evidenced in her signature is on a receipted bill dated 2 June 1741, for two mahogany chests of drawers costing £4.
In 1748 she advertised the sale of ‘Buck's Views’, a well-known series of topographical engravings by S. & N. Buck, from the above address.
