Just found your posting thanks to Roots Chat "shouting " at me to reply to you!!! Sorry but I have not been looking at this site for some time now. I found the "Canadian Hannahs" through a contact which I made with Clarence and Rosemary Slater and we e-mail sort of regularly, and you are indeed on my Hannah Family Tree thanks to their information. I also keep in touch with Fay Ford. My wife is the great-granddaughter of Adam Hannah & Jane Bayne. Her grandfather was Richard Bayne Hannah.

Just looked again at my information posting and I didn't really mean mid to late 1900s, I meant between 1910 and 1930 say. I guess that if they emigrated as unmarried women, they would have been in their 20s or 30s, so that makes it between 1915 and 1925.

Thanks for your help and interest. To give you more information and answer your queries.....
Helen (Nellie) Hannah was born Helen Morgan Hannah in Crail, Fife, Scotland on March 10th 1896, and her sister Jessie Hannah was born on May 1st 1894.
They both emigrated to Canada (I guess) in the mid to late 1900s as they were both at home in the 1901 census, and I can find no record of either marrying before leaving. As a young girl, my wife wrote to Nellie on behalf of her grandparents in the late 1940s/50s, but we have lost all record of those days. She remembers them as living in Saskatchewan, in a typical farm house.
The "Slater" reference is as a result of my finding a record in the Rootschat archives under Bayne (their mother's name) from someone called Rosemary Slater asking about her husband's family, having been to Crail in 1997 without much success. I guessed that this would be one of the descendants and tried to e-mail her [after about 6 years] but the e-mail address was unknown.... so near and yet so far!!

I need some help to find the descendants of the above two sisters who emigrated to Canada (The Prairie States - Saskatchewan) in the early 1900s. I am working on my wife's Family Tree and all information on the Canadians has been lost. I found an old posting from an R. Slater of Saskatoon, dated 1999, but the e-mail is no longer recognised.
Their parents were Adam Sands Hannah and Jane Wann Douglas Bayne of Crail in Fife.
My family connection by marriage is through their brother Richard Bayne Hannah
