Shep's Place Family Tree

Ten years later we find Annie as pro-tem head of household at her sister Sarah Carey's home at 8 The Paragon, Hackney in London. She is looking after Sarah and Jonathan Carey's two youngest boys, Frederick G. eleven and Alfred E. nine, both scholars. There are two domestic servants, Eliza Clements, 55 and Sarah Clayton 34.

While Annie was in Hackney she most likely met her future husband William Buck, who was living in the home of his sister Mrs. Redley in South Hackney.

In the 1901 census of Ilford, Essex, we find Annie's husband Benjamin Brooks is a "commissionaire ‎(port)‎. Annie 31 has three little girls: Ethel four, Florrie three and Ada three months old. There are also two boarders in the household, William Wightman 28, single, a "billiard maker" and Alice Montagu 37 and single of Chelsea.
