Hannah was living with her parents, William and Sarah, in Howley, in 1841. The cottage they lived in has now utterly disappeared, but used to stand next to where the modern barn is located, opposite Howley Farm. It appears as number 458 on the Tithe Map, and was rented from William Cook, who owned several other houses in Howley.
William was a clothworker, but a decade late, at the next census, he was listed as an agricultural labourer. However, Hannah and her elder sister were both listed as silk weavers, almost certainly at New Mills, a nearby silk mill. In ’61, she was still living with her parents at Howley.
In December 1861, Hannah married James Jackson, an engineer, at St Georges church, Brandon Hill in Bristol.
In 1871, James, Hannah, and their children were living in Colliers Row, Tredegar, South Wales, and, ten years later, they were living in Marks Road, still in Tredegar. James was recorded as a truck carpenter. In 1891 they had moved to Park Place, still in the same town. In 1901, Hannah, still at the same address, was a widow, with a grocery business. In 1911, her son-in-law had become head of the household that she lived in.
Hannah died, aged 80, leaving £205 in her will.
