Kirkwood, possible of Lisbane

[MissSarah]

Thank you Alan for this x
 I do have a suspicion that Anna's father could be called William x I have a fee dna matches on ancestry that have this name but no daughter to the name I look for x
 I often wonder if she was even registered, I'm aware that some weren't x

Anna's father may have been William but perhaps his surname wasn't Kirkwood-

1896 marriage- father 'not known'

1916 marriage- father William Kirkwood

Thank you Aghadowey x I have thought many times that perhaps Annie wasn't aware who her father was at the time of first marriage x
 If he was William Kirkwood who died in 1910,and Annie did not re marry til 1916, perhaps in the interim period she was told?Or perhaps a family falling out might have had something to do with it x

IF Anna was illegitimate but was known by her father's surname Kirkwood before her 1st marriage (were father's name not listed) then she likely would have known who her father was.
It's possibly more likely that she was either the daughter of William Kirkwood (& birth not registered or indexed) or she was illegitmate- either mother/mother's later partner was a Kirkwood (if her mother was Kirkwood possibly William was the name of a grandfather or uncle who helped rear her or she just made up a Christian name at time of 2nd marriage).
