Her mother Mary Ann also died in Bandford in 1888 aged 63 on 11 Feb 1888. Annie married 23 year old thatcher, Charles Trim 24 April 1888 when she was 22 years old. They went to live nearby at Horseplot Cottage, Shorebottom, Stockland where their two children, Sidney and Maria were born on 1889 and 1880.
