Annie (2) Woodhurst was born in 1875 at Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk to parents Alfred Thomas (1) Woodhurst and his wife Frances Jane Punchard [Birth Index: Bury St. Edmonds 4a 568, 1875 (June)].

The 1881 Census finds her living with her parents at the Coach House Rooms in High Baxter Street, Bury St. Edmunds.

The 1891 Census finds her at age "15" living with her parents at 21, Meat Market in St. James Parish, Bury St. Edmunds. She was occupied as a barmaid.

She married Walter Brinkley at Bury St. Edmunds on February 27th 1898 [Marriage Index: Bury St. Edmonds 4a 853, 1898 (March)]. Relatives report that she produced the children listed below; and that Walter was born at Norton, Suffolk on March 18th 1873 [Birth Index: Stow, S. 4a 544, 1873 (June)].

Nothing more is currently known of her.
