Person TypeIndividual
BiographyAnne Archer was the daughter of Catherine Tipping (d.1754) and Thomas Archer (1695-1768), 1st Baron Archer of Umberslade. Her date of birth is unknown. On March 13, 1756 she married Edward Turnour Garth-Turnour (1734-1788), who had matriculated at Trinity College, Oxford, in October 1752, but apparently left without taking a degree. On April 10, 1761 her husband's elevation to the Irish peerage made her Baroness Winterton of Gort, County Galway, Ireland, and on February 12, 1766 she became Viscountess Turnour and Countess Winterton. She and her brother, Andrew Archer (1736-1778), 2nd Baron Archer, were co-heirs to their father's estate on his death in 1768. In nineteen years of marriage, Countess Winterton bore thirteen children. She died in childbirth with her fourteenth on June 19 or 20, 1775 at Shillinglee Park, Surrey. Her husband, who remarried in 1778 and had four additional children, died of apoplexy ten years later and was buried with his first wife at Kirdford, Sussex.
