Not much is known about Hannah; she was apparently married 3 times, first to Charles James Mitchell but he appears to have died quite young (probably at sea), we know nothing about the 2nd marriage but the third seems to have produced lots of children.

According to "family legend": Florence married Ted Dabbs, had daughters Betty and Jacky and they lived in Bristol. Elsie married a sea captain and was found dead in bed, the captain died soon after with a broken heart. Dora married Bernard Cromer, they lived in London for a while and had 3 sons (Don, Reg (lived in Bridgewater?) and Harold (killed in WW2)); Bernard died of a tumor and was buried at sea, Dora died in Bristol in 1968. Daisy married Cecil Bowley and they lived in Worthing, possibly with 3 children. George Graham died in the 1920's. Edie Graham died young, she had a son (nothing known), and a daughter Carol Graham (known as 'Seeley'?), who was brought up by Florence and apparently married Gerry Weatherly who was banquetting manager at the Grand Hotel in Bristol.

Other details known about the offspring of the later marriages: According to some old letters, Florence and Dora both lived in London in the 1950's and Edie lived somewhere in Wales in the 1950's.
