I'm looking to find out more about Hannah HUDSON who was born in Stoney middleton, Derbyshire.
On the 1871 census she was showed to be living at: 6 Lead Mills, Hathersage aged 68 which shows she was b.1803 Stoney Middleton
Living here with her was John HUDSON, gson aged 27, Charlotte HUDSON, gdaur aged 24, Alice HUDSON, g gdaur aged 2, Walter HUDSON, g gson aged 1.
On the 1881 census she's living with the same grandson John HUDSON (now the head) at same address with many more children. but Hannah HUDSON on here is down as 89 years old...b.1792 Stoney Middleton.
Any help much appreciated

and..............on the Highlow (Lordship) 1871 CENSUS, Derbyshire it says her age is 88 lol

89 with a son aged 37? thats stretching it a bit.
More likely to be 68 and 78.
Best bet is to find them in 1851 when the father should be alive, and go from there.

The 1871 entry actually has one of those handy thick lines straight through the first digit of Hannah's age but I think it possible to see a thin stroke forming the start of a "7" (if you squint a bit).
1851
Led Mills
William Hudson 55 Lancashire,Branover (?)
Hannah,56,Derby,Middleton
Barbarah,16,Derby,Led Mills
1841
Highlow
Willm Hudson,45,ag lab,y
Hannah Hudson,45,y
Thos Hudson,15,y
Willm Hudson,10,y
Barabary Hudson,6,y
Grandson John seems to be the son of Thomas and his wife Frances judging by the 1851 census.
If you would like full details of any of these entries I'll be happy to post them, just not sure what you have.
There is a marriage in the IGI for William Hudson to Hannah Swift, Hathersage 15/2/1820 and as there is a baptism for Barbara Hudson there too in 1834 I think that might be the right marriage.
