Biography:
Annie Waldron
1859 –1936

Unmarked grave Annie Waldron (née Green) (1859-1936)

Annie was born in 1859 in Northchurch to Joseph Green, an agricultural labourer, and his wife Sarah (née Johnson).

Like many daughters of labouring families, Annie went into domestic service and in 1881 the census records her as a laundry maid living in “Laundry Cottage” at Mentmore, the great house built by Baron de Rothschild. By the time Annie was employed there it had been inherited by the Countess of Rosebery.

Annie married Joseph Waldron, a domestic gardener born in Lambeth, on 16 December 1882 at Christchurch, Marylebone, London.

Annie was born in 1885 in Dudswell followed by Alfred William (1887) and Joseph jnr. (1889) both in Berkhamsted,

By 1891 the family were living in the High Street, Berkhamsted.

James Henry, (1896), was born in Northchurch.

In 1901 Annie and Joseph were living at 51, Gossoms End with their three sons and adopted daughter Ada Maria West, aged 7.

George Albert Edward was born in 1903.

Daughter Annie married in 1909 and in 1911 Annie and Joseph were living at 2, William Street, Sunnyside, Berkhamsted with Alfred (a nurseryman), Joseph jnr. (a carman), James (an errand boy) and George all at home. Ada Maria had become a dormitory maid at Berkhamsted School.

Alfred married and moved to Bushey. He enlisted in the Army in 1915, but fortunately survived the First World War, as did his brother James who enlisted in 1919. Joseph jnr. remained in Berkhamsted, married and became a lorry driver. His son Kenneth James (1925-27) is also buried in this cemetery.

Annie died in February 1936 aged 77 at 2, Thompsons Row. Joseph died later the same year.
