	Brilliant, thanks so much for looking. Would it be possible to find out if Hannah and William had any children? I have paid to use ancestry but can't find anything :(

	Hi I am looking for the maiden name of Hannah, the spouse of William Stafford. 1881 census has them living in the Matlock, Derbyshire area but cannot find any later census information. His parents were John Stafford and Maria (Marsden). William has a sister Mary Ellen and brother John Henry. Thank you very much :-D
