Hi Debbie My cousin and I solved this riddell last week. Annie's parents were William Lanyon and Elizabeth Veale . They Married abt 1838 and had 2 children John and 1 other. Elizabeth died in 1842. William remarried and in 1849 sailed to south Australia on the "William Money" . The shipping list has them listed as William 35. Mary(woolcock) 32. John 9 Honora 7 and William Henry Infant. John Lanyon married Honor Maria White and this is all verified on their headstone , a notice in the local paper and from the White family history. just by chance I found a death notice in the Argus newspaper on the 28 th july 1926 for Annie and Susannah Clark attached to Honor Lanyon (Aka Annie) 1841-1926. i then found the same notice listed with another source. it seems that that Honor decided to be known as Annie. This would make sense when you look back at the family tree William's mother was Honor Davey(davy) and Annie would have been named after her . william had a sister named Honor as well and her sister in law was also Honor. Annie and James were married in 1875 as the marriage licence states. James died in in 1909 and was a blacksmith in Majorcia and later Maryborough in Victoria. they are both buried there. Annie and her daughter Susannah went down the street on a very cold wet winter's day and both caught pneumonia and Annie died on the 25th August 1926 and Susannah on the 26 August 1926. Annie"s death certificate states 6 children , william being the oldest but we have no information about him. Annabella died early in 1926 aged 65 . James died at 2 (not confirmed yet) . George died in 1932 and David in 1942. i think she never told anyone her birth name as the death certificate lists her parents as John and Honor Lanyon. David gave the details and may have never known. she may have been disowned by the family for not not marrying until after the children were born and may have been closer to her brother. hope you get this and it helps jhldc
