Ann's mother was the Lady of the Manor of Charmouth in Dorset who married Matthew Liddon on 22 June 1789 in the presence of her father, the ill-fated James Warden.

[1] At the time of Ann's marriage on 31 August 1812 to Captain Richard Spencer, a distinguished post captain in the Royal Navy, at St Matthew's Church, Charmouth, they were possibly living at Langmoor Manor.

Ann's marriage portion was £2,000, a sizeable sum for those days and when her husband died in 1839, this amount was still intact.

Ann and Richard settled on a farm at Lyme Regis, Dorset, for seventeen years, during which nine of their ten children were born.

Ann spent the remainder of her life in Western Australia, dying on 19 July 1855 at Perth.
