biography

Annie Hall Cudlip was born Annie Hall Thomas in Aldeburgh, Suffolk on October 25, 1838. Her father, a well known and respected man, was a lieutenant in the British Royal Navy and the nephew and protégé of Admiral Sir Jerry Coghlan. Her mother was the daughter of Captain Alexander Mackey.

Her family then moved to Morston, Norfolk , where her father was hospitalized until the year before his death. She was raised primarily at home as an only child. She published her first novel, The Cross of Honor , in 1863 at the age of 24. Many of her earliest novels were considered highly controversial and dealt with topics such as the sexuality of young girls and illegitimate pregnancy.

She married Rev. Pender Hodge Cudlip on July 10, 1867 and had six children with him. The two lived in Devon for most of their married life, although they also lived in London for several years.

In 1873 she and her husband moved to Paddington, where they stayed for the next eight years. She was involved in animal rights groups and wrote about cruelty to animals in London. She benefited from the experience of her dog Cavac, a large greyhound that was her constant companion for ten years and had survived the infamous London dog poisoning cases of 1876. That same year, two of their eldest sons and one other son died in February 1879. Of their three surviving children, one of their daughters married Major William Drury. He wrote some nautical novels at the end of the century.
