Hi I am directly connected to Annie? She was born Tipsend,Welney.She worked as a scullery maid and ended up as cook to Lady Welby.She married my Grandfather in Upwell, they lived in Uxbridge in Middlesex.Annie started a lodging house and off licence on corner at Occupatiion road-Bell yard.
Grandad started a coal and coke business and then a building business where he built  the actual house they lived and died in? My family inherited this property? Annie passed in St.Bernards mental hospital? She was not mental??? when Annie passed she left 7 properties?
This is fact Lorryloo Annie never lived with a Dorothy? She had used to have a tipple of  whisky about twice a week from the bookcase in front room??
