Hannah Harrison 1856

[Meggiejayne]

Good afternoon

I'm searching for information about my 2x great aunt Hannah.

She was born around 1854 to Henry Harrison and Hannah Barnett in Broadholme, Notts. She was baptised in St Helens. Thorney on 9th February 1854.

In 1861 she is living with parents Henry and Hannah; half brothers William and Henry; brother Charles and sisters Sarah and Martha. in Broadholme, Notts.

I cannot seem to find her after this. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

This may be her in 1871 census as a servant in Skellingthorpe, Lincs;

This is not my Hannah. She was born in Broadholme, Notts and is on the 1861 Census aged 7.

Henry Harrison, widow marries Hannah Barnett on 8 March 1853. Hannah is baptised in the same church on 9th February.

Gainsborough was the nearest registry office to Broadholme.  Her mother was married before.

Oh I see. However my great grandmother was also born Broadholme and she was registered Newark

Historically, Broadholme was in Nottinghamshire, and came under the Newark Registration District, and a birth in Broadholme would have had to be registered in the Newark District. Distance doesn't come into it - it's all about which district it happened in.

There are a few nearby places, eg Kettlethorpe and Newton on Trent, which were in Lincolnshire and in the Gainsborough Registration District. So if she was born while her mother was visiting one of these places, they'd have had to register her in the Gainsborough District.

(In 1989 Broadholme was transferred to Lincolnshire and the Lincoln Registration District, as it then was, but that's not relevant to the question here.)

Yes I thought this too. Hannah's parents marriage was registered in Newark as are a number of other births and burials.

I have found a death for a Hannah Harrison registered in Newark in 1865 so its possible that could be her since I can't see any evidence of her after 1861.

The death in 1865 is not my Hannah. GRO shows she's 73 so she could potentially be Hannah's grandmother.
