Further to my previous posting....
Here is the list of Annie's children according to my grandfather for anyone interested. The dates are from the FreeBMD
Grace 1898
Arthur 1900
Fred 1902
Doris 1904
Edwin 1906 (my grandfather)
Gladys 1908
Edith 1911
From the information our family has gathered, it seems likely that Edith Victoria Annetts and Queenie Emberley Annetts were twins born to Annie in 1897. Queenie is listed as having died in 1898 and there is an Edith Emberley Annetts listed as passing in 1910 at age 12 which fits with Edith V Annetts' age. Since Queenie's death predates my grandfather's birth and Edith passed when he was only 3 or 4, I'm not surprised he had no memory of them. He did recall a sister Edith as marrying someone named Bill and having 2 children so I'm inclined to believe that Phil's friend's mother, Edith Mary Annetts, is my grandfather's sister. Exciting stuff!!
Now there are stray Annetts in Poole according to the FreeBMD:
Alfred 1893
Stanley 1904
Winnifred 1909
Hedley J. 1911(marriage)
I have no information on any of these people. So, if anyone could help with either my grandfather's family or these strays I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Trent
