Ingram was the daughter of the third earl of Carlisle. She and her husband Rich Ingram had financial issues, worsened by the collapse of the South Sea venture. His death in 1721 left Anne childless to settle with the creditors. In the 1730s, she became more independent and published some poems, including a response to Pope's Epistle to a Lady: on the Characters of Women (‘Epistle to Mr Pope. By a Lady’) which presumably first appeared in GM Dec. 1736. Had some connection to Queen Caroline, who sent her to fetch Augusta to marry her son Frederick. Married Douglas, a member of the royal household.
