This is the only Hannah in Staffs who is unmarried in 1901....the district fits, but I would advise getting the marriage cert to confirm details, and thus avoid following a false trial..........

This must be the marriage reg'n............. Name: Hannah Lightfoot Year of Registration: 1905 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec District: Wolstanton County: Staffordshire Volume: 6b Page: 167 John Gadd The cert will tell you the age of each of them plus the names of their fathers. From there, you can look for them in 1901.........I would point out that Newcastle Under Lyme is a separate district............... Reg
