Ann Trow

We think this photo is of my Great Grandmother Ann Trow and her daughter Jane (known as Ginny). On the back of the photo are some numbers which looks to be the date 23.2.93.
My Great Grandmother was born Ann Tye on 14th March 1853, the first child born to Thomas (a labourer) and Elizabeth Tye in the rural parish of Bettws-y-Crwyn, Shropshire, England. However, she spent most of her life living just over the border in Wales.
By the age of 18, Ann was working as a servant/nurse for Edward Morris and his family at Gwern-y-Go, near Sarn in the Parish of Kerry, Montgomeryshire.
On 10th May 1876 Ann married John Trow, a farm labourer from Churchstoke, and a year later they had their first child, Elizabeth. Ten other children followed (including Ginny and my Grandfather).
Sadly, only 5 years after this photo was taken, Ann died from a hemorrhage after giving birth to daughter Edith. She died at home in Churchstoke, aged only 43.
I don’t know much else about my Great Grandmother Ann, I wish I knew more.
