Peter and Paul (Gaskell) have both suggested (from different indexes) that Hannah daughter of Benjamin and Sarah baptised at Cholsey on 23 August 1789. However, before accepting this possibility, you will want to consider the fact that a _burial_ is recorded at Cholsey on 11 November 1817 of Hannah POWEL, aged 27, daughter of Benjamin and Sarah. (from Oxfordshire FHS transcript.) This may well be the same woman - had she been a married woman, I imagine that she would have been described as "wife of ...". Paul's suggestions about possible places to find (or not find) Hannah are sound ones, and probably contain the explanation.

Paul, Paul and Peter Thank you so much for your help and the suggestions outlined.
