there is also the 2 deaths I posted earlier

The 1901 death fits better as it means she would have died before the 1901 census

1901 74 Church Street
John Jones 29 railway worker
Hannah Jones 30 born Beswick.
lilian Jones 1.

So this is the Hannah (Crook)you are looking for, although she may be the one who died before 1911 census.

lancashireAnn Report 22 Mar 2016 13:33

Could Hannah not be the one I posted above - married John Jones in 1898 - died either 1901 or 1905 which would make her the 4th child who died as presumably even though she was married she would count on her parents 1911 return

confusing as there were 3 Hannah Coork birth reg, 1 1867 Bolton, 2 1868 in Manchester & Bolton so difficult to tell which is which

as the 4 living children in 1911 were
James (b1876) living with parents
Margaret Jane - married to Robert Hunt
Sarah Alice - married to Joshua Stopford
Mary Lilian - single living alone

by a process of elimination the other one who died must be Hannah b 1868
