Hannah (1) Livesey was born in Warrington in 1875 to parents Joseph (1) Livesey and his first wife Alice Cartwright. Alice had herself been born in Warrington. The birth certificate [Birth Index: Warrington 8c 181, 1875 (Dec)] states that she was born on September 14th 1875 at the house where Alice (the informant) was then residing, at 5, Stamford Street. The certificate spells the family surname as "Livesy" throughout, and describes Joseph (1) as a general labourer.
The 1881 Census finds her at age 5 living with her widowed father at 22, Wood Street, Salford in the household of her grandfather George (1).
The 1891 Census finds her at age 15 living in the household of her (remarried) father at 14, Quay Street in Salford.
She married on June 2nd 1898 at Christ Church, Salford to Thomas William A. Tudor, son of a wire polisher Edward Tudor [Marriage Index: Salford 8d 146, 1898 (June)]; her occupation was given in the register as tenter and his as stock keeper; they gave their address as 12, Blackburn's Buildings. At the time of the 1891 Census Thomas had been living with his parents and siblings at 101, Moston Lane in Blackley.
There is an anomaly in the 1898 marriage record in that the register describes the bride's father as a labourer "John Livesey". This was evidently a deliberate disguising of the true identity of her father Joseph (1). In 2015 Amy Riggall, a great-grand-daughter of Hannah(1), emailed Marian Bowers, the daughter of Nora (1) Livesey, the following comment on this identity issue:
"I have heard stories passed on that explain why you are having issues with Hannah's identity. She lied in an attempt to hide from her father with the help of her step-mum [Emma].
The incident with the knife [razor] happened at the same time as Hannah's marriage and escape from her father."
The 1901 Census finds Hannah (1) living with Thomas and two children at 13, Hemsley Street in Blackley, Manchester and describes her as aged "27" and born in Warrington.
The 1911 Census finds them living with six children at 5, Albine Street in Moston, Manchester; he was now occupied as a joiner.
Thomas died aged "46" in 1922 [Death Index: Prestwich 8d 361, 1922 (June)] and Hannah (1) died aged "70" in 1946 [Death Index: Manchester 8d 453, 1946 (June)].
The National Register for England and Wales 1939 finds Hannah (1) living at 35, Elizabeth Street in Manchester together with her unmarried son David who was occupied as a bus conductor.
Hannah (1) died aged "70" in 1946 [Death Index: Manchester 8d 453, 1946 (June)].
