Am so grateful to all who responded to my Annie Short request. I have looked at Annie from Toxteth but discarded her. My Annie is very much an enigma right now. She had a dismal life on the whole. She loses her son 14 months after his birth in 1915 and her husband was killed in WW1 (1916) having won a Military Cross doing so. She herself dies aged 33 in 1920. She left behind a daughter born in 1910 who ends up in South Africa. Very sad. On her son’s birth certificate she gives her name as Annie Mary Josephine Short but this is the only time she suggests she has other names. Could it be that she herself is illegitimate and perhaps puts John Short for her father simply to complete the box? She names her only daughter Annie Florence Grace !! Perhaps my Annie hankered after other names for herself also..... the odd thing is that her daughter has never been known by any of these names and re-named herself Judy !!! Thanks to all and I shall keep hunting of course. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
Well Wendy, It could be all possible, some of it or, none of it true. Good Hunting!
