Regarding your post of Wednesday 13 April 2016, I cannot help much about multiple Hannah's but I noticed your apparent descent from the Elizabeth Pardoe who married William Woodward (I assume from that marriage). If so you may be a second, third, fourth or fifth cousin twice removed (if that's right).
My main interest, in picking up the post, was in establishing which Elizabeth. There were two Elizabeth Pardoes born in Ombesley about the right time. One to Thomas (A cordwainer, I think) & Mary and one to James and Elizabeth (farmers who owned their land). There were other Elizabeth Pardoes in neighbouring villages which caused further confusion. The witnesses at the wedding were Thomas and Sarah whom I took to be siblings. I was, myself, unable to find a relevant 'Sarah'. Your post indicates Thomas and Sarah were younger siblings and that the Elizabeth who married William was the daughter of Thomas & Mary. I will look for the baptism documents which confirm this. I always thought that a taylor was more likely to marry into cordwainers. It remains to track the family back a few generations if you have not already done so and find a link between the various Pardoes who seem to vary in status from minor gentry to farm labourers.
I do not know, Claire, where you fit on the family tree but it may be of interest that my late uncle Les's father-in-law (through first wife Eve) was a signalman (Albert Edward Tyrrell). Les has two great-granddaughters that I know of, but the names are different from yours and they are maybe a year or two younger.
It may be worth going through an abbreviated version of what I know of the family origins. William (the taylor) was baptised in Earls Croome where I think his father Thomas (born in Wick) may have been a toll-gate keeper. William had three sons of which John (a pub landlord) who, it seems, had no children, Thomas ( jeweller & watchmaker) who had one daughter Mabel who never married and William Pardo (butcher). He had, I think, two daughters, Ann and Elizabeth of which one (married name Fraser) became his housekeeper. Her own daughter was housekeeper for her uncle Thomas. William Pardo living in Chaddesley Corbett had three sons of which I believe the eldest two, George Henry and William, each had a daughter a bit later in life. John Woodward living in Lambeth had one son, my grandfather, John William and two daughters Edith and Mabel who both married (all now long deceased).
It may also be of interest that I know of living descendants of John William living in Ireland, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Egypt, Ghana, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. I don't know if any of this helps you but hope perhaps you have information that helps me.
