Can't see anything for Hannah either in Canada or America. I did also check England, but no luck!

I just found Hannah in Canada, Married a Alfred McDonald Hooper in Vancouver 29th may 1910.
Hooper was born in Cornwall

Just found a birth at Brentford sept 1912 3A 477 for a Rosa Hooper, mother nee Lyon, so I think I have found Hannah, her mother is or was Rose Anna Lyon

brentford is a dead end, correct name but wrong family

Thanks Lynne from up north, looks like hooper was up to it as well, he divorced Hannah and remarried again twice, and lived to the grand age of 92, must be something in that
