.... I think for now it is best to assume an error in the death record. What do you think.

Butting in, death records are the least reliable for the name of parents - they are only as good as the knowledge of the informant.    Hannah's parents will be named on her marriage certificate - presuming that she knows the correct names herself.  I have a couple of people who named their parents incorrectly - twice - on two different marriages for the same person - due to losing one or two parents early in life.

Hi Ruth

Anna & Hannah are interchangeable names.  I would imagine as she was so young when her mother died, she would have thought her father's 2nd wife was her mother.  

Considering Thomas & Ann called a daughter Ann when she was born in 1868, leans to the orginal Anna really being Hannah.

The marriage certificate would confirm, who Hannah's parents were.

regards

Genni
