Annie and I are related through Thomas BRIDGMAN (1824-1906). Thomas is Annie's grandfather and my gg-grandfather.
Annie was born in Mallala 4-Dec-1894; sadly her mother, Mary Ann Bridgman, died five days later. Annie is buried in the Balaklava Cemetery and her headstone reads: In Loving Memory of Annie Barton, Died 21 Oct 1978, Aged 83 Years, Ever Remembered by the Bridgman Family, In God's Care.
I would very much like to know more about Annie. Did she never marry?. Who cared for her as a child? And what happened to Annie's father Robert BARTON. Did he remarry? And where did he go when his wife of just 11 months died?
Annie lived at 5 Baker Street, Balaklava at the time of her death and I would love to hear from anyone who knew her and can help me find out more about her life.
