Unmarked grave Hannah Green (née Howard) (1835-1904)
Hannah was born c.1835 in Baslow, Derbyshire, a village five miles north of Bakewell, to John Howard, an agricultural labourer, and his wife Mary (née Boden). She was their third child and oldest daughter in a family of six sons and three daughters. Hannah, despite her humble origins, was to travel widely across England.
By 1851, aged only 15, she was one of two servants employed by the bachelor Vicar of Hathersage, six miles north of home. Ten years later she had moved much further away and was employed as one of three servants by the Milne family in Clifton, Bristol.
Hannah married Robert Green, a landscape gardener born in Lincolnshire, on 29 February 1864 in St Luke’s, Chelsea.
The birthplaces of their children reveal how much Robert had to move around in search of employment as a gardener. John as born in 1865 in Winchcombe, Gloucestershire and Robert in 1867 in Colton Basset, Nottinghamshire.
In 1871 they were living in Langton by Spilsby, a tiny Lincolnshire hamlet, and it is likely that Robert was employed at Langton Hall, especially as their next door neighbour was a coachman “at the Hall”.
Their daughter, Mary was born in 1872 in Kensington and Arthur in 1874 in East Sheen.
By April 1881 Hannah and Robert, with Mary and Arthur, were living in Wendover, but ten years later they were at 41, Kitsbury Road and Robert was a “nursery foreman”, probably with Lane’s. Mary was a dressmaker and Arthur a printer’s labourer. They were still there in 1901
Hannah died 5 June 1904 aged 69 and Robert survived her only until September that year. It is likely that he is buried with her, as the burials’ record show two internments in Hannah’s grave.
Son Arthur took over the house and his sons Wilfred (1913-14) and Percy (1911-18) are also buried in this cemetery.
