Biography

Anna Lily Zorn was born on May 2, 1881 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, daughter of Otto Wilhelm Karl Zorn (1861–1900) and Lina Louise Schnell (1863–~1929). ^[1]

Anna (28) married Frederick Skinner (19) (born in 1890) in 1910 in Victoria. Their son was Edwin Frederick Skinner (1917–1978).

Anna died on August 7, 1948 in Maldon, Victoria, aged 67.^[2]

Research Notes

• I think these might be the wrong parents:

-Otto Wilhelm Karl Zorn was married to Annie Anderson and was based in Port Melbourne. - Otto Zorn married Leina Schuell and was based in Hoth.

• Need to confirm that both Ottos are the same person.
• Leina Schuell may be different to Lina Schnell (Schmell) who arrived in 1887, after Anna Lily was born.

These are the correct parents. Anna Lilly’s father was Otto Karl Wilhelm Zorn (my great-grand uncle). Her mother was Lina Louise Schnell (not Schuell or Schmell, transcription/reading errors). It appears that there is no marriage certificate, nor a divorce decree. Lina Louise Schnell had a second child with Otto Wilhelm Karl Zorn, Otto Karl August Zorn, born in 1883, died in 1883. Lina Louise Schnell married Max Rosengarth in 1887 in Sidney, NSW. Otto Wilhelm Karl Zorn married Annie Anderson in 1886 in Launceston, Tasmania.
