Known as Annie, she descended from a long line of Huguenots and from more a more recent German
immigrant who was naturalised in 1809. Her ancestry may be explored by entering the pages on
the Le Croissette family. It is extremely interesting. She was more German than French, and
perhaps also more German than English since both her parents had Wohlmann blood. Births Jun 1847 Wohlmann Anne Amelia St Lukes 2, 262. Known according to different sources as Ann or Anna, as well as Annie. The baptism entry for the Parish of St Leonard, Shoreditch in the County of Middlesex in the year 1852 says: 1852, baptised July 10, No. 1611. Annie Amelia. Parents Godfrey Frederick and Elizabeth Harmer, surname Wohlmann. 1 Macclesfield Place. Carpenter against trade of father. Date May 4 1847. The record was extracted 2 Day of May 1854 by Vicar Simpson and recorded on Page 206. There is conflicting information on her baptism. A handwritten note, on the birth dates and times and baptism arrangements for all the Wohlmann children, has her baptised 18 July 1852. Her family were then living at 1 Macclesfield Place, in the parish of St Leonard. Godfrey, Annie's father, is shown in the 1861 census at 48 Rahere Street, St Luke, Barnabas, in the Borough of Finsbury. Also in the house is a Daughter Annie, 14 years, a 'servant', born in St Luke. (It seems incredible that this granddaughter of the wealthy Wohlmann-Lecroissette family saw no benefit from being well-born.)The same house is occupied by the Chambers family, a 'Watch Case Maker', various apprentices and a servant. Separately, at number 41, Annie's mother is nursing a sick neighbour. At the date of her wedding to Charles, she lived at 64 Baker Street, London, St Luke (ref Volume 1b, p.109). Annie's mother, Elizabeth Lecroissette, was living at 3 Newton Street when she married Godfrey Frederick Wohlmann. Whether coincidence, or the means for Charles and Annie getting together, Charles himself was living in that very house when he married Elizabeth's daughter Annie. Here is a note written by someone who contacted this website: "Our family grew up in Rahere St after 1901, but before were in the area back to 1840. The Williams family were nearly all Carpenters, other family names being, Butler, Peck, Wool, Walker, Salmon, Bartleman. All the houses in Rahere St were 3 storeys, a semi basement,a ground floor and an upper floor. Some had a sort of half floor for storeroom. Most had toilets at the end of the yard. Most children went to Moreland St School and there are comprehensive Records at the Metropolitan Archives in Northhampton Rd. Rahere St ran from Goswell Rd to Central St. The numbers ran consecutively from Goswell Rd end to about #35. 0n the southside and back up to #70 on the north side. #48 would have been at the end of the playground of the present Moreland St school. My father lived at 55,56,57&58, my mother at 57 and my grandmother at 27. The houses were owned by St Bartholomews Hospital Trust." Annie's marriage entry for St Barnabas church in the Parish of St Luke in Middlesex county states that she was of full age, a Spinster and Mantle Maker, living at 64 Parker Street, her father being Godfrey Frederick Wohlmann, Carpenter. The witnesses are Godfrey Frederick Wohlmann, her father, and Amelia Sophia Andrews. The 1901 census shows Annie (Anna) living at South Shoebury, Essex with several of her sons. She is 53 and gives her place of birth as St Luke's, London. Annie died after moving to Westcliff. June quarter 1925, Rochford, ref 4a, p. 571. Her death was registered on 4th April by 'C H Gillard Son in Law In attendance'. This was Eunice the youngest daughter's husband. The address given was 5 First ?North Avenue, Westcliff on Sea. Annie was described as Annie Amelia Andrews, Female, 77 years, Wife of Charles George Andrews, Retired Letterpress and General Printer. The doctor, Victor J Hodgson, listed two causes of her death: 1) Chronic Parenchymatous nephritis, 3 years, and 2) Uraemia 10 days. In short, Annie died of kidney failure. She was cremated at the City of London Crematorium, her ashes scattered on the same day -- 8th April 1925. The address of the City of London Crematorium is Aldersbrook Road, London, E12 5DQ. This is close to the Manor Park Crematorium and Cemetery where George James Andrews was buried, ie her father-in-law. His grave is 'public' and others have now been buried over him. |
