Two photographs of Anna Woodcock, taken by the Edwards studio of St. Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada.
Assuming I have the right Anna Woodcock and that my online research is correct:
Anna G. Woodcock was born 2 July 1894 in Massachusetts. I don't have the names of her parents, but in the 1900 Census of Pembroke, Maine, she was living in the household of her uncle Edwin Carter. From what I've been able to determine, Edwin had possibly four sisters, Georgiana, Joanna, Adeline and Eliza, any of which may have been Anna's mother. I don't think Anna's mother was Georgiana, though, as she married Thomas James.
In the 1910 Census of Pembroke, Anna was living with her grandparents, Samuel and Margaret Carter.
In 1937, when Anna was living in Calais, Maine, she became the second wife of James Alexander Skidds. He died in 1958 in Calais. Anna died in Somerville or Charlestown, Massachusetts in May 1979.
If you have any corrections, additions or insights regarding the information presented above, or if you feel that the Anna Woodcock in the photographs is a different woman entirely, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
I'm hoping that a family researcher of the Woodcock, Carter or Skidds family will come forward to help fill in the blanks of Anna's life.
