Biography[]

1940-1973[]

Anne Daniels was born on the 10th October 1940 in Erinsborough to Bill Daniels and Helen Daniels and went to school with Max Ramsay and Jim Robinson. Anne started romancing Jim in 1956 when they were both 16 but her mother Helen Daniels did not allow them to marry until they were a few years older. Anne married Jim in about 1959 and they had their first son Paul Robinson in 1963. Shortly after Paul was born, Anne was raped by her husbands boss Roger Bannon. A daughter, Julie was born in 1964. Jim agreed to bring the baby up as his, but as she was not his blood daughter, she could not claim anything in his will. Julie was not to know the truth for years.

In 1968, Anne and Jim had a son Scott James Robinson. Shorlty after, Jim was called up for service in Vietnam. When Jim was away and Anne was back in Erinsborough, both of them strayed from each other, Jim had a one night stand with Maureen Donnelly and Anne had a brief affair with her neighbour Max Ramsay, who was Jim's best friend. In about 1970, Anne had a daughter who was adopted out. Jim returned from Vietnam shortly after and never knew that Anne had mothered a child while he was away, and Anne never knew Jim had fathered a child while in Vietnam.

In 1973, Anne was pregnant again. She gave birth to Lucy Robinson in August 1973 but died in childbirth. This left Jim and Helen to bring up Paul, Julie, Scott and baby Lucy.

Full Name: Anne Robinson (née Daniels)

Age discrepancies[]

In 1985, Jim says he and Anne fell in love when they were 16 years old. If Anne was originally born in 1943, then this means they fell in love in about 1959, and that Jim was the same age as Anne, born 1943. This also affects Max Ramsay's age, meaning Max was born 1943, as he was said to be the same age as Jim and in his class at school. In April 1986, Helen said Anne had 2 children by the time she was 21, so if born 1943, she would have had Paul and Julie by 1964 if Paul was born 1963 and Julie in 1964,Seeing Paul celebrated his 50th Birthday In 2014 January making Julie's birth year about 1965 Making Anne’s birth year as 1940 then in January 2020 Paul celebrated his 60th birthday putting Julie's birth year again 1961 . Anne’s granddaughter Elle seeing her locket in May 2009 lists her date of birth as 10/10/1940 confirmed her date of birth as 10 October 1940 not 10 October 1943
