Success!  I decided to contact the 'frail and too far away' cousin's daughter just on the off chance she may have an inkling regarding 'Aunt Hannah'.  Her spouse is doing a branch of my family that I had never thought of...and it turns out 'Aunt Hannah' is the sister of the son-in-law of Granny Taylor.  It just goes to show that sideways research can often come in handy! Said cousin's daughter was quite surprised too and said she would quiz her mum (who is nonetheless quite compos mentis despite the age and frailty!).  I may just apply that logic to a couple more photographs on my distaff side that have puzzled us for some years ??? ???
