Graeme writes Hannah was, “known in New Zealand as Hannah Willah but no such family name appears to exist in Halifax. She is almost certainly Hannah Willey, descended from a family of stone masons who lived in Northowram (a satellite village of Halifax)”.

Brian of nzolivers.com notes that Northowram is a village in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England that stands to the east of Halifax on the north side of Shibden valley.

Date of birth is recorded on the flyleaf of an old family bible which John Kenyon brought with him to New Zealand as a young man.
