My great grandmother, Annie Eliza Crowe, was born on July 31, 1893 in Torbrooke, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia. In the late 1890s, Annie moved with her family to Rossland and then Nelson, BC where her father, Thomas Clarence Crowe, worked in hardrock mining.The 1901 census shows Annie E, 7, living in Rossland with the rest of her family.
The 1911 census shows Annie Crowe, 17, living on her own in Silverton, near Nelson.
Annie Eliza married Richard White in December 13, 1911 in New Denver, BC (see Richard James White below).
The 1921 census shows Annie White, 28, living her family in Silverton, BC: Richard, 33, Dorothy, 9, Leonard, 4, and Albert, 35.
This photo of Annie was likely taken in Nelson in the 1930s.
Annie’s siblings remained in BC.
After Richard's death in 1958, Annie moved to Vancouver where she lived in the West End. She died in March 1975 in West Vancouver.
