Anna Maria Elers was baptized at Saint Mary's Church, Black Bourton, Oxfordshire, on October 20, 1743, the daughter of Paul Elers and his wife, Mary Hungerford [parish register]. She was the first wife of Richard Lovell Edgeworth. The couple eloped to Scotland in 1763 where they had a civil marriage. Her father refused to accept this and a religious marriage ceremony was held on 21 February 1764.
The Edgeworth family home was at Hare Hatch, between Reading and Maidenhead. The Elers family home was at Black Bourton, Oxfordshire.
Her husband and a colleague traveled to France in 1771-2. Anna joined him there, but returned to England for the birth of Anna, her fifth child. She gave birth in the home of her sisters at Russell Street, London, and died soon after giving birth.
Anna was the mother of Richard Edgeworth, 1764-1796; Lovell Edgeworth, 1765-1766; Maria Edgeworth, 1767-1849; Emmeline Edgeworth King, 1770-1817 and Anna Maria Edgeworth Beddoes, 1773-1824.
