She was born 1872 in Treocky South Wales , which would have made her 17 yrs old, and not 21. Her mother was also named Hannah and she was born in Pembrokeshire, she died in 1875. This is wonderful information. Thank you again Interesting as Hannah's {1872} sister Elizabeth Filer also lied about her age on her marriage cert.The girls father -George was alive and well here in Wales when his daughter's married.Hannah and Elizabeth went out to Shamokin in 1888 to visit their grandparents George & Emma{Harvey} Filer .
