Hello slowhands,

I do not know the names of any children of Hannah and Harry, just very recently discovered that Hannah married Harry, and so this line of research is new for me.

The George family you've listed in the 1891 census is indeed mine. In the 1901 census, Hannah's parents and siblings (but not Hannah) were listed in the Wales Census, rather than the England Census, although still West Dean, Holy Jesus Ecclesiastical Parish. I think the location is the same as in the prior census; did boundaries change?

In 1904, Hannah's parents and all her siblings immigrated to the United States. The oldest brother, Arthur, was my great grandfather, and he died young, in 1918. My family did not even know Hannah existed. Hannah's father, William George, left his family in the United States and emigrated back to England sometime before 1910, and reportedly (based on a headstone inscription in the United States) died in Lydbrook in 1923 (although I have not found a record of his death either).

Hannah's mother was Sarah Jane Howells, born in Kinver, and may be the daughter of James Howell(s)? and Hannah Poole, about whom there is a nice thread on this forum, but I haven't quite been able to pin that down; something seems off. But, if I recall, that family ended up in Wales, so that's a path I need to follow again.

I thought perhaps Harry's parents' involvement with the Bell Inn may have been an inducement for Harry and Hannah to stay in the Lydbrook area, but I see that Harry's mother, Hannah, left her estate to Thomas (oldest son, I believe), and I don't know that Harry's parents would have owned the Inn in any case, they may have just worked there.

Forgive the ramble, but I thought some context may help; you seem to be fantastically gifted in ferreting out info based on the smallest of clues!

Thank you...

Terri
