I have given the information to that tree. There is a Spence connection there too. I have Birth, Marriage and Death certs for the family. I have been in touch with Robert's son and I should be able to get the information on Robert and Edith Rose marriage cert. I know that Robert family don't know anything about Annie only that she was in India and they have a letter to say that. Annie's sister, Margaret died 1928 and Robert's brother wrote the letter to let him know about the death. There was another brother in Fife and I am in contact with his daughter and she only knows that she had an aunt Annie but has no information, other that she went to India. Another brother lived in Wales and again, same story. I have been able to tell them about their roots. Annie may have not been registered at birth as I cannot find it and I cannot find her baptism either in the Church and the others were there. I have spent weeks ,6 in all, going through passenger lists. I took 2 free weeks and paid for 1 month. I put in "ANNIE" and then checked the surnames for marriages or checked any children to see if Spence was there too. There were loads of Annies but I did not manage to find her. Also, I checked any Mrs too. I still have a few names to check for marriages. I have a copy of that letter and it states Annie was to return later the year, 1928. No one knows if she did return!! There were a couple of Annie's that went out 1927 and returned 1928 but when a check was done, the maiden name was not Spence!
The only hope is that a child or Grandchild of Annie Spence will read this and know! Fingers crossed!!
Kind regards

I would think that this is his birth

I have it on there too and nothing back for it either. I have spent the weekend putting "ANNIE" in for passenger lists from India. I know she was in India in 1928 and was to return later in the summer. Don't know if she was to return to England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland. I have used a free BMD site and put in Annie Spence to see what name came up for spouse and then check if an Annie with those names travelled. I am still not sure if it helped, but I am still working on them.
I am not sure which army sites to use.
Kind regards
Aspen :-S

I am still checking where Annie was married. I wonder if as she was married to a soldier, would they marry in the army or a local Church? I don't think they married in Co Donegal as I have checked her Church records. It has been said the her husband was very high rank in the army. So little to go on without a name :-(
Kind regards

Annie travelled back from India in 1928. Her sister, Margaret, died April 1928 but I'm not sure if she travelled after that or before as her sister was ill for some time. I cannot find a marriage record for her in Donegal yet. Without a surname it is diffficult to trace her. :-( :-S
