Hannah Hyde (or Hide) was born on the 5th October 1837 in Thatcham (near Newbury), in Berkshire, England.
Her marriage register entry says that her father was William Hyde. There was a christening in Thatcham around the correct time for a Hannah Hide:
Christening Date: | 29 Oct 1837 |
Christening Place: | Thatcham, Berkshire, England |
Father's Name: | William Hide |
Mother's Name: | Hannah Hide |
In 1851 she is living at the White House pub in Speen, Newbury, Berkshire. Her father is the publican there, and she was 13 years old and living with her 7 brothers and sisters.
She married George Willis in 1860 (Marriages Mar 1860, Newbury v.2c p.301: Hannah Hyde & George Willis), and she then has a daughter Katherine Ann Willis (Jun Q 1860 Henley v.3a p.498)
But her husband George Willis died one year later in 1861 (Mar 1861 George Willis, Henley v.3a p.355).
So she was a widow when she married John Francis, a blacksmith.
In 1901 Hannah is 62 and still living with John in Ipsden, at a place called the Grove. She is there with her husband, and her son Edwin who is 22. Her other children (William, Sarah, John) have moved to Reading where they are running a butcher's shop.

John's occupation is given as blacksmith, and his father is listed as William Francis (also a blacksmith).
The witnesses who signed the register were a Henry Francis and a Jane Willis.
