I am desperately searching for further information about my great grandmother, Annie Frances DONALDSON (b. abt. 1864 in Manchester, Lancashire, England).
Annie married my great grandfather, William Edmund ANSELL on 8 October 1885 in Cunnamulla, Queensland, Australia.
On the certificate, which I have been able to obtain from the Queensland State Archives, it lists her as 21 years of age (making her year of birth abt. 1864).
Her occupation is listed as: Domestic Servant.
Her birth place is listed as: Manchester, Lancashire, England.
Her parents are listed as: Stephen Roderick DONALSON (Publican) & Annie Frances LLOYD.
If anyone can find information as to how and when Annie travelled to Australia or information about her family in England, I would be very grateful.
Regards,
