Our generation knew very little about John Hannan except that he was an Englishman who came to Tasmania sometime in the early 1830s, hoping to make a living in the cotton trade. Presumably this did not work out because Tasmanian records of births and marriages described his occupation sometimes as a baker and sometimes as a carpenter. He was eight years older than Eliza and they had four children: Emma, born 1834; John Blythe, born 1836; Eliza (our grandmother) 1836 and Caroline, 1842.
