Mary Hannah disappeared after 1881, husband George Nelson had another "wife" Annie by 1891 and they went to live in Leicester, where Mary Hannah`s brother also lived. In 1910 George Nelson and Annie Packer married in Derby,he stating he was now a widower, giving a clue that Mary Hannah must have died around that year, But, I cannot find her death as I do`nt know what surname she had adopted, please please can anyone help, if your ancestor`s name was Mary Hannah born in 1950, could she be "my" Mary Hannah? I would be over the moon if she can be traced. Thank you.
