Chauncy family index

My 2nd great grandmother

49 Annie Frances Chauncy, daughter of Philip Lamothe Snell Chauncy and Susan Augusta Mitchell was born on 25 April 1857 in Survey Office, Heathcote, Victoria. She died on 21 February 1883 in Hesse Street, Queenscliff, Victoria.

Annie Chauncy (1857-1883), my great great grandmother, daughter of Philip, modelled in wax by her aunt Theresa. The cast wax model is in the collection of the National Galery of Australia. They estimate the model to have been made in about 1860. Annie would have only been 3. I think it possible the model was made in 1864 when Theresa stayed with the family and Annie was 7.

Annie married Philip Champion de Crespigny (1850-1927) on on 25 October 1877 in St Paul’s, Ballarat, Victoria.

They had two children:

• Philip Champion de Crespigny (1879 – 1918)
• Constantine Trent Champion de Crespigny (1882 – 1952)
