Died
11 Jul 1910
Gender
Female
Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in Australia

Anne's death certificate indicates she was born at Donahagh, Co Limerick. She was one of the younger children of Rev Andrew Creagh Massy and wife Eleanor Creagh. "Ellen". Andrew was a Clerk in Holy Orders. Andrew's parents were William Massy (1747- abt 1830) who was the son of John Massy and Mary Agnes Studdert.

Birth

1822 Divorce paper says 1833 but unlikely. • County Clare, Ireland as stated in divorce papers

Annie was the second youngest of Andrew and Ellen's children. My research suggests she was born in Ireland (as she states on her divorce papers) then the family moved to England where the youngest child was born.

She migrated to Australia arriving in January 1842.
