Can anyone help me find Hannah Syrett in 1911. she was born Hannah Pitcher born 1855/54 Ramsgate ,kent. she died 1918 jas hollingbourne,kent. she married henry syrett in 1902 in ashford. i have most of this family history, but just want to locate her in 1911 which i cant seem to do. there is a hannah syrett in stow b 1854 but this is not her.
henry syrett i think was killed 1912-1914 he was in the war, so most of the time was away.
If anyone can help i would be very grateful

Thanks for your help peeps. sorry yes 1902 is correct. from talking to my aunty, hollingbourne was the district latterly where the family were so im 99% sure this is her and her age fits in too. i have her first marriage etc and had a previous thread for that but not wanting to reinstate that just trying to find hannah thats all, but its proved quite hard.
as for her husband henry syrett, not sure what happened to him, thought he was away fighting but no matter its only her im interested in.
if i ordered the death cert would it tell me an address and who informed the death?
i do have hannahs marr cert, she was living in ashford , kent then.
thanks

ok reggie, think i will do that. i have tried exhaustively and failed with this part of our tree.the weird spelling/eroors didnt help.
thanks for your help. will leave it here as i dont want people to waste too much time looking. i just thought a fresh pair of eyes might help, but from your replies it doesnt look as if it will gain anything new.
thanks for all your replies

Isn't that the son, Patchem?

EDIT;

I see you've posted additional info which confirms my supposition

I've just realised - belatedly - that Hannah was calling herself Syrett and having Syrett children long before she married Henry
Slow on the uptake this AM!

Yes, she was a bit careless with the truth.

Really strange - there isn't a record on CWGC of the death found on Ancestry
