Annie Jane Farmer was born in New York City, Manhattan, New York on December 3, 1874. She is my Great-Great Grandmother. I am researching her life now and the best source I have for her birth date is her baptism at Manor Chapel, 348 West 26th Street, New York City. I didn’t sketch this church as part of my 50 oldest churches of NYC, but when I get back to the city I will certainly sketch it since the Chapel is still standing today.
She married my Great-Great Grandfather Joseph Patrick Corr about 1897 according to a 1900 census. I am hoping to find the actual marriage license. They lived in a series of apartments in New York city on 5th Avenue and 8th Avenue before they moved to New Jersey with four children including my Grandfather Francis Henry Corr.
Annie lived in Dumont, New Jersey for the next 54 years. A daughter was born in New Jersey for a total of 5 children.
Annie Jane died February 14, 1964, just 3 years after I was born, so I have no memory of her. Her obituary said she had 4 grandchildren, one of which would be my mother Elvira Mildred Corr-Thorspecken. Annie had 11 great grandchildren, I would rank in that number.
