Annie Marie Allen was born on 29 July 1858 in Bothwell, the daughter of Richard Allen and Julia Antoni, and was baptised at Bothwell on 10 October of the same year. Her early life was marked by loss: her mother Julia died of cancer in 1866 when Annie was just seven, and her father Richard died in 1882 at the age of 82. Following her father's death, Annie inherited the property at [1-H5, H6] High St. On 6 April 6 1885, she married George Broughton Sealy, a 31-year-old widower and warehouseman from Hobart, at St Luke's Church, Bothwell. Their son, Allen Broughton Sealy, was born in Hobart in February 1886. Their second son, Raymond Sealy, was born in Hobart in 1889. Tragically, George died in 1891 at the age of 37 in Petersham, New South Wales. Three years later, on 11 December 1894, Annie remarried in Hobart, this time to her brother-in-law William Henry Sealy, a storekeeper in Bothwell. In 1896, they had a daughter, Rita Sealy, born in Bothwell. Annie died on 19 February 1911 at her home, Broughtonville in Bothwell, after a long battle with phthisis (tuberculosis), aged 52. She was buried at the Bothwell Public Cemetery on 21 February.
