Looking for Annie Pinnell b1875 Warminster

Daughter of Samuel Wiltshire Pinnell and Kate (born Frances Catherine Edwards), she is living with Mum and rest of family in 1891 at 1 Rose Villa, The Friary, Salisbury. I can't see her after that. Where did she go ?

Cannot find a suitable marriage or death.

Grateful please for any assistance. Thanks Kanskar

Davierj - Thanks for the tip.

The Swindon one is a good possibility as the family were in Swindon by that time.

Husband appears to be Ivon Van Den Driessche, but cannot find Annie or Ivon on the 1901 or 1911 censii.

(The other couple on the 1899 registration were Harold & Julia (nee Willis) Blackall - found on 1901)

The Swindon one looks good, in that case, as Ivon appears on the same page.   Simple matter to order marriage certificate.

Annie Pinnell married Ivo Van den Driessche and they moved to Belgium. She died in Zwijnaarde in 1975 (at the age of a 100 years). Her son is still alive.

Atalanta - Many Thanks for letting me know what happened to Annie.

I'm not surprised that she made to 100 - other relatives on that side of the family made it to their late 80s/early 90s (including her mum).  I presume her son is around 100 yrs of age too.

She must have led an interesting life particularly if she was in Belgium during both World Wars.

Hi Kanskar,
During WWI they went to England for a few years. Her son was born there in 1915. He will be 97 soon.
Annie and her husband Ivo both worked for an English family that owned a castle in Belgium. They first met at the castle. She worked as a nanny/cook and he started as one of the stableboys. When the horses were replaced by cars, he became the family's chauffeur.   
I'm one of Annie's great-grandchildren. Are you a relative?

Atalanta - Thank you for your most interesting information. 

I'm not related to Annie, but my wife is.

One of Annie's mum's (Kate (Frances Catherine)) younger sisters was Angelina (who married Harry Lewis Clark).  My wife is their great-great granddaughter.

Dear Kanskar,
I have a photograph of the wedding of Ivo and Annie. There are about 10 family members in the photo, but aside from Annie and Ivo, we're not sure who's who in the picture. Maybe your wife's great-great grandmother is one of them. I'd like to share the photo with you, but I can't seem to be able to attach images to my posts. Probably because I am new to rootschat?

Maybe you can help me with this question: Annie had a brother called James, and three sisters: Martha, Jane and ... ? Do you know the name of the third sister?

Atalanta - I do know the name of her third sister and also her fourth sister

They were Alice Maude (b 1873) & Gertrude Florence (b 1876)

Alice Maude married Patrick McDonagh in 1894 and Gertrude married Thomas Rowden in London in 1898.

I know you cannot send Private Messages until you have posted more than 3 times, so perhaps that applies to attachments as well.  If you still have a problem, may I suggest you post a query in the Technical or Common Room asking for assistance.

I look forward to seeing the photo of Ivo & Annie's wedding.

Dear Atalanta and Kanskar
I read your correspondence regarding Annie van den Driessche (nee' Pinnell) with interest. I am a family and local history volunteer researcher at the Vale and Downland Museum Wantage Oxon and am at the moment interested in researching events in Wantage during the Great War 1914-1918 for an exhibition next year. During WW1 there were approx 50 Belgian Refugees staying in the Wantage Drill Hall in Springfield Road. The managers of the 'refugee centre' were Annie and Ivo.Annie was also the Superintendent of the women munitions workers at Wantage Engineering Ltd where some of the Belgians worked. There is a photo of the munitions workers with I believe possibly Annie in the centre. I have several questions that you maybe able to help with:

Trevor - I've only just seen your reply.

I cannot answer the questions regarding the Belgians and Annie's time at Wantage, but may be able to help on the Pinnells at Charlton if you can let me know who they were please.

Thanks Kanskar
