I think its time to think outside the square, as they say. So far it seems you are relying on Hannah's marriage certificte for data to go further. Do you have Hannah's death certificate? This should point you in the direction of her birth, and then hopefully a birth certificate.
Just checked the NSW indexes, and the only Hannah Louisa Powell in the deaths is in 1962, with father listed as William. Did she die in NSW?
