You will not find a birth reg for her.......no such thing until late 1837

The best you can hope for is her baptism...but you can't look for that until you find out what her surname was before she married

Have you done any searching for the marriage yourself on freebmd?

How did you get back to Hannah?

Is one of her children your direct ancestor?

If so, where and when was that child born? And what was his/her name?

The one on the 1891 census is a widow so Bray wasn't her maiden name.

Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
