Hannah Speirs
✓ Sourced record
ℹ Added from another copy of the treeThe 1915 marriage record of Hannah Speirs and Arthur Donnelly (Airdrie, 17 July 1915) gives her age as 36, which fits the birth of about 1879 on this page, and names her parents as Robert Spiers, quarry labourer (deceased), and Margaret Duff, formerly Spiers, maiden surname Hendry. The 29 October 2026 export of the Ancestry tree has a Hannah Spiers born about 1857 as a child of Maggie Hendry; that date is too early (Robert and Maggie married in 1873) and is treated as an error for this Hannah.

ℹ She is already in the treeHannah is Hannah Speirs (P343), born about 1879, a daughter of Robert Speirs and Maggie Hendry. An age of 36 in 1915 fits that birth. The GEDCOM has her only as "about 1879" with no marriage.
⚠ A second Hannah Spiers in the exportThe 29 October 2026 export of the Ancestry tree has a Hannah Spiers born about 1857 with just a mother, Maggie Hendry. That is the same person, with a birth year that cannot be right (her parents married in 1873), so no second Hannah was added.
ℹ Her mother's second marriageHer mother is named as Margaret Duff, formerly Spiers. Maggie Hendry therefore remarried, to a Mr Duff, before 1915. She died on 18 January 1918.
