Ann Alice Sacre

Vital Information

Residence

Woolwich, London (1901–1911+)

Notes

Violet Dorothy Sacre's paternal step-grandmother. Second wife of Edwin William Sacre (ID 121). Full name Ann Alice per 1911 census; abbreviated as 'Anne A' in 1901 census. Married Edwin William Sacre in 1892 per the 1911 census (duration of marriage field). IMPORTANT CORRECTION (session 13, 2026-03-30): Ann Alice is NOT the biological mother of Edwin William G Sacre (ID 119). Edwin's biological mother was Harriet Gurr (ID 127, born 1860, died October 1889). Edwin William Sacre first married Harriet Gurr in October 1880; Harriet died in October 1889 when Edwin W G was ~8. Edwin William Sacre then married Ann Alice as his second wife c.1892. Ann Alice therefore raised Edwin W G Sacre as his stepmother from age ~11. Maiden name unknown.
