Hannah was born on 21 May 1835 at Birchcliff General Baptist, Wadsworth, Yorkshire, England. She was the daughter of William Uttley and Sally (?). She married Samuel Vestey, son of William Vestey, on 15 April 1858. She died on 19 Jan 1884 at age 48.
The marriage date given in the peerage record is incorrect as is some other information relating to the Vestey family, which needs updating. Her birth date is confirmed in the 'England & Wales, Non-Conformist and Non-Parochial Registers'[1], with the location given for Birchcliff as Halifax, Yorkshire, England.
Prior to her marriage in 1858, we find 6 yrs old Hannah Utley in the 1841 England Census as the 2nd child and daughter of William (32) and Salley (32) Utley. Her elder sister was Mary (8) and younger brother Edmond (4). The family were residing at Brownhill, Stansfield, Yorkshire. Her father's occupation was Farmer. All the family were born in Yorkshire[2].
In the 1851 England Census Hannah Utley (15) was now the 2nd of 6 children of William Utley (42), a Farmer of 124 acres employing labourers, and wife Salley (42). with Hannah born in Standfield, Yorkshire. They were living in the Parish of Chapel Allerton, in north-east Leeds, Yorkshire[3].
The 1861, 1871 and 1881 England Census' are described in her husband Samuel Vestey's profile, including the children that seem to number 12 in all.
Hannah Vestey's 'England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index' record has that her death was registered in the January quarter of 1884 aged 48 years at West Derby, Lancashire, United Kingdom for the inferred death place as Lancashire, U.K. The memorial plaque in Liverpool cathedral has 'Died at Bootle 1884'[4], which is in Lancashire.
