Esther married Ernest Mann they lived in Sheffield.It was Hannah 1903 Nancy 1911 I wonder why the name change.

Nancy was a derivative of Hannah, Hannah/Ann or Anna/Nancy.

Let us know how you get on with your certifs
we can maybe try and add more to the tree then.

will now move to archived as don't think we can do any more without certifs
as Hannah could have married anyone
Thomas we have 1911 but no more info again you would need more info on where he went.
