The Austen family referred to as Jane Anna as "Anna," perhaps to differentiate her from her aunt. At the age of two, Anna's mother Anne passed away. Two years later, James married Mary Lloyd, a friend to the Austen family, and soon half-brother James Edward Austen-Leigh was born. In 1814, Anna married Benjamin Lefroy, who was cousin to Tom Lefroy, the gentleman with whom Jane Austen had a brief flirtation in 1796. Anna had a daughter named Jemima.

Relationship with Jane Austen

Anna was very close with her aunt, who wrote stories with her and encouraged her to become a writer.
