Changes to Hannah Collett Lanier [6 February 2012]

This is my first day on We Relate so I may not be making changes correctly.

I removed the middle name of Rebecca for Hannah, as women in her time period did not have middle names and it does not appear in documents.


I changed her birth place and made Unknown primary, leaving Greenwich as secondary. Her parents lived in All Hallows Lombard Street in the City of London. To my knowledge there is no reason to place them in Greenwich at the time of Hannah's birth. Clement Lanier's father, Nicholas, moved to Greenwich because the palace was there and he had to travel less to get to his work. It is true that Hannah's mother, Anne, was buried at St. Alfege, Greenwich but I think that Hannah must have been caring for her at the time of her death, as Anne's will states that she wanted to be buried at All Hallows, Lombard Street.--Lanier 16:02, 6 February 2012 (EST)
