Annie Bonar Law

Annie Bonar Law

Annie Bonar Law, "née" Annie Pitcairn Robley (died 1909) was the wife of British Prime Minister Andrew Bonar Law.She was the daughter of Mr. Harrington Robley of Glasgow.

In 1890 she became engaged to local businessman Andrew Bonar Law, and they were married in Helensburgh, Dunbartonshire on 24 March 1891.

The marriage was to prove very happy and they had seven children, although the first was stillborn. Law’s interest in politics had grown stronger throughout the 1890s, and a large inheritance enabled him to run for Parliament. One of her children, Isabel H. Law, married Major General Sir Frederick Sykes, the military commander, politician and statesman. Two of her sons were killed in World War I - Charles Law with the King's Own Scottish Borderers at the Battle of Gaza on 1917 and James Law with the Royal Flying Corps, shot down over the Western Front also in 1917. Her youngest son was Richard Law, 1st Baron Coleraine.
