Looks like these could be Hannah's sisters:
Betty Higginbotham born 22 August 1807
Mary Higginbotham 25th Nov 1808
Sarah Higginbotham 5th October 1811
They were all christened at Denton, St Lawrence.

There are more Higginbothams on familysearch but they seem to be christened at Denton, Christ Church so might not be the same family.

To get the full details from the burial register (which might help) you'll need to purchase credits.

The carters could be related to the moore family .hannah bruckshaws uncle was John moore who had lots of kids .i found a marriage between a mary Ellen Moore and a carter in 1903 perhaps mary Ellen is related to John moore somewere down the line which would make her a relative of Hannah so maybey that's why Hannah is hurried with some carter family members perhaps ,I could be wrong

If there is a gravestone at Manchester General Cemetery (AKA Harpurhey Cemetery) that may provide some clues. It might be worth contacting Luzzu or CanCan who may be able to help.

It's quite a large cemetery, you might need to modify your request to add the section and grave number:

Consecrated Section, Grave 362

Good luck  :)

Sorry but that is all I have about them.
Incidentally I have literally hundreds of Stockport area BRUCKSHAWs so give me a shout for any who may be of interest to any of you.
