The Forgotten History of St Bótwulf (Botolph), The Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History, 43 (2016), pp. 521-550, published by Academia, gives the following relations:

- King Aethelhere & King Aethelwald were brothers of King Anna - Aethelmund, Anna's son, was also King - Anna's wife was Saewaru - His step daughter was Sæthryth, Abbess of Faremoûtiers-en-Brie in Gaul - A daughter was Æthelburh, also at Faremoutiers

Thanks Andrew, I'll have to look at that article, though I notice the Wikipedia article for Anna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_of_East_Anglia points out some of the issues related to Anna's possible wife or wives, and notes that the History of St Botolph was written in the 11th century.
