Lynn checked the 1881 census for Shropshire and found the Woodvine family. Anne was living with the Fowler family as a general servant - she was 13 years old. Her brothers and sisters were identified from this census.1

Individual Note 2 (shared)

Comment by Jennifer (nee Parrot) during her research:

 

Anne Woodvine's father, Joseph, came from Shawbury but after the birth of his son John and before the birth of Sarah in 1838, he moved to Wellington - you can imagine that rural Shropshire was rapidly becoming very different from what Joseph has always known. Across from Shawbury, you can see the Wrekin and the chimneys of the Severn Gorge where the new ironworks and foundries were spring up. I expect that Joseph, a waggoner by trade, had needed to visit there in the course of his job, perhaps even delivering parts of farm machinery - which would now be iron - new tools for the farmers. Well you can imagine that he would see a new prosperity over there, under the Wrekin, and thought that he and his family could make their living there. I suppose his village would lose quite a lot of its population to the new factories where (again, I'm assuming) the housing was also new and goods were plentiful. He'd leave his rural roots then and settle down, eventually to die in 1867, in the industrial area of Shropshire.
