Travel

1926

Annie travelling from Cape Town to London arriving 11 May 1926 aboard the Ballarat. Her age is 25 and she is a teacher. Her address is given as 329 Seven Sisters Rd, ? Hill

Married: 1) Michael Bryer on 14 April 1927 in London, England

Marriage certificate for Anne and Michael. She is age 25 and he is age 23. Her address is given as 41 Devonport Street, Paddington, London

Thye marriage did not last and in the inquest following her husband's death in 1934 she is not mentioned at all!

Married: 2) ? Banker before 1933. On her father's death certificate in October 1933 and in his will she is listed as Annie Banker. I don't know her husband's first name and I have been unable to find any record of a marriage. According to her nephew Jonathan Smulian she married an "American oilman" and disappeared in the USA

Her father's death certificate dated 21 October 1933 where she is listed as Annie Banker

An extract from "Random notes on the life of my father, Barend "Ben" Smulian  by Jonathan Smulian in the SA-SIG Newsletter, March 2004, p. 10. In it he says: "The rest of the children, all female, married and remained in South Africa with the exception of a younger sister Annie, a schoolteacher, who also went to the States, married an "oilman" and "disappeared"."

Here is a manifest for a Mrs Anne Banker entering the United States from Canada on 22 August 1930. It says she was born in Cape Town, South Africa, is 30 years of age and is married to an American citizen. This may or may not be Anne.

The last mention I have of Anne is in an obituary for her brother Adolph in the Fort Worth Star, Texas, USA on 2 April 1951. It mentions that a surviving sister, Ann, is living in Caracas, Venezuela. After that I can't find anything more about her
