Biography
Hannah Benham was born in 1869 in Prince Edward County, Ontario, and was with her parents there in 1871. In 1886 she married Colin Walker in Trenton, and they lived in Trenton (in 1901 next door to her sister Agnes Orr and in 1921 next to her daughter Pearl Bowden). They had at least five children.
Note
Hannah's birth date is 29 July 1869, age 32, in the 1901 census. That does not comport with "age 4" in the 1872 census.
