Great x 3 Half Aunt Ann Easterbrook

My Great x3 Half Aunt Ann (1810 - ?) was an older half sister of my Great Great Grandfather Ezekiel Herd Easterbrook (1839 - 1920).

Ann was born around 1810 in Exbourne, Devon, to Walter Easterbrook (about 21), an agricultural labourer, and Ann Easterbrook (nee Ballamy), a housewife.

Ann was named for her mother.

Ann was baptised, alongside her brother Thomas, on 12th August 1810, in Exbourne, Devon. They may have been twins.

Ann was one of three children (two girls and one boy):

  • Ann  1810 -
  • Thomas  1810 - 1811 (0 years old)
  • Patience  1811 - 1811 (0 years old)
An infant herself, Ann lost both of her siblings.

On 4th April 1811, Thomas was buried, in Exbourne. 

On 27th December 1811, Patience was buried, in Exbourne.

Then Ann's mother passed away.

On 14th October 1812, Ann's mother of the same name was buried, in Sampford Courtenay (about two and half miles from Exbourne, where Ann was born). 

Ann's father Walter was left, in his early twenties, a widower, with little daughter Ann. 

What happened to baby Ann?

Presently, alas, I am struggling to determine, but I will try again to research in the future. 

Later in life, Ann's father Walter had another son.

Ann had one younger half brother:

  • Ezekiel Herd Easterbrook 1839 - 1920  (80 years old)
