Typical 18th Century Yorkshire Farming Scene |
1733-1757: Hannah gives birth to a total of ten children. Only a few of her children are known to have survived infancy. Consider the difficulty of trying to raise a large family during the 18th Century on a rural Yorkshire farm. The infant mortality rate was very high during this time period- how would that have affected the family life? Hannah's children were: Richard (1733-unknown), Mary (1736-1787), John (1736-unknown, but suspected to have died in infancy), Elizabeth (1737-1737), Hannah (1741- unknown), Ann (1744-1770), Martha (1747-unknown), John (1749-1837), William (1752-unknown), and Dorothy (1757-1757). For a full family history of the lives of these children, please refer to the entry for Hannah's husband, Richard Wainman.
It is unknown when Hannah died, but she lived at least until 1757, when her last child, Dorothy was born.
