  • Notes 
    • BIOGRAPHY: At 3 years of age, her family migrated from England to County Wicklow, Ireland. Annie had three or four siblings. Annie's twin sister (Caroline) died shortly after birth. Annie is reported to come from well-to-do parents. But their plantation was destroyed by fire. (Was this why they moved to Ireland, or was this a plantation in Ireland?) Annie had to go to work as a Lady's Lady for a rich family. There she met Joseph Keeler who was the Coachman. They married against her parents wishes. Joseph Keeler had relatives in Australia and the United States and chose to relocate and settle in Massachusetts, USA.

      After her husband, Joseph died at age 46, Annie had to take in washing and ironing to keep the family together. Annie moved in with her daughter Annie around 1929 after her daughter's husband Ed died.

      Annie's family never forgave Joseph for taking her to America. Her family felt disgraced to think she would marry beneath her stature, so she was ostracized. It is believed she never communicated with her parents after moving to America.
