Find Ancestors

I think you are right with all three Kath, thank you so much. xx :-)

A tree on Ancestry says she was born 23 Oct. 1853, Clifton, Holmfirth, Yorkshire, daughter of Benjamin & Elizabeth Haigh. But it says she married W.W.B in 1877 not 1887. Children were born 1877, 1879, 1885 and 1888.

Could this be Hannah's birth:-

I am trying to trace ancestors of my Great Grandmother Hannah Haigh. Through tracing my Grandmother I have found her on the 1881 and 1891 census but can't find anything else. I have made requests to view members trees who have entries of someone of her name but to no avail. I have also checked the IGI site.

Hannah was born in Clifton (I'm not sure which one) in 1854 and went on to marry my Great Grandfather, William Wilkinson Benson who lived in Hull.

As I have asked for help regarding her daughter in the past so I'm not sure if this is classed as doubling up, please accept my apologies if this is the case. :-)
