    Hannah Matilda Wells.

    Hannah, known as Annie was my grandmother, she died 19 July 1913 aged 27. As she died in Howard st I had assumed that she would be buried in Witton Cemetery, but enquiries there have drawn a blank. Does anyone have any idea where I might find out where Hannah ended up. Thank you. Barrie.
