Anna (1) Hogger was born to parents John (1) Hogger and his wife Elizabeth (nee) Partridge, and was christened on October 21st 1827 at Brent Eleigh [PR: Cosford DB].
The 1841 Census finds her at age "13" living with her father at Barrow Hill, Acton.
The 1851 Census finds her at age "23" living with her widowed father at Barrow Hill where she was occupied as a housekeeper. Her birthplace is given here as Brent Eleigh.
The 1861 Census finds Anna (1) at age "30" in the household of her cousin Robert (1) at 18, Church Walk in St. Mary, Bury St. Edmunds. No occupation is given for her. Her birthplace is given as Acton, where she had lived during childhood.
The 1871 Census finds Anna (1) at age "41" living at Rectory Cottage in Thorpe Morieux, where she was occupied as a cook to William Thomas Harrison, the Rector of Thorpe Morieux. Her birthplace is again given as Acton. Also in the household was a housemaid Elizabeth Dunt, the future wife of Anna (1)'s cousin John (3).
The 1881 Census finds Anna (1) at age "50" living at 8, King's Terrace, Portsea (today's Portsmouth) in Hampshire, occupied as a lodging house keeper. She was unmarried and the head of household. Among her several visitors was her unmarried cousin Ann (1), also aged "50" and occupied as a nurse.
