General Notes
- Annie was working as a housemaid and domestic servant in Durham in 1881 for the Greenwell family. She was born in Bremen, the same as Bertha and Christian, so assumed be sister of them.
  
  Her first daughter was Dora Westpfahl Askew, born 1884 and Dora (or Dorothy) is a reoccuring family name, so her mother may be Dora.

Social & Emotional Relationships
- Engle Sophie Dorothee Westpfahl attended Annie.
