Anne resigned her post when it was discovered that Branwell and Mrs. She grew to love the family and even secured a position tutoring the Robinson’s son for her brother, Branwell. Her second stint as governess for the Robinson family at Thorp Green Hall was more successful. The children under her care were unruly and even cruel, and Anne was traumatized by the experience and dismissed from her position after less than a year. A year later, she became a governess at Blake Hall, which served as the inspiration and model for Wellwood House in her first novel, Agnes Grey. In her second year at the school, Anne grew gravely ill and was sent home to recover. As a teen, Anne attended Roe Head School where her oldest sister, Charlotte, was a teacher. A devout woman, Elizabeth helped shape Anne’s religious education, while her sister Emily fueled her creative ambitions. Anne was Elizabeth’s favorite and the two shared a room. When her mother died suddenly, Maria’s sister, Elizabeth, moved into the parsonage to help take care of the children.
The youngest of five children born to Patrick and Maria Brontë, Anne and her siblings grew up in the Haworth Parsonage where their father worked as a curate.
