Ann Masters is Richard's mother originally Ann Armston from Twyford, in north-eastern Leicestershire.

This photograph would have been taken around about 1872-1873. Ann Elizabeth is wearing a wedding ring so it was just after her wedding on 6 December 1872.

Her grandmother Ann died in on 22nd May, 1873.
