London and Middlesex / Re: Miss Annie Luker professional diveréswimmer

Dear Grub, I can’t imagine her storing her stuff there when she went to London. She was living here from around 1889. I live a few streets away from Englefield Road and her house is a large four storey Victorian house. Huge in comparison to Quarry Road which is a two up two down. Unless she had died and they kept her things.
As you’ll know Annie is no longer on the electoral roll after 1915 so she either married again or died.
I’ve sent off for a number of certificates in the hope they might be her but none of them match. Although we know she knocked off a few years on the 1911 census which I took into account. Nothing under the name Hagar Parker either.
I thought about trying to look at Islington archives but haven’t found time yet.
I read on a feed someone had said she was a suffragette and there was a prisoner in Holloway around 1916 called Annie Parker but as it’s such a common name I can’t be sure.
I will keep on looking.
Best wishes, Christina
