Edward and Hannah's story

They appear to have lived in  Newcastle on Tyne all their lives. We know Edward's parent's names, but that is all. On one census only, Hannah says she came from Ipswick (probably Ipswich Suffolk). Possibly her family came from there, but she spent most or all of her early  years in Newcastle on Tyne. They probably married  around 1828. Edward(just call me Ed?) was a Hairdresser in 1841, then a Furniture Broker, and two of  their sons were Cabinet Makers. One son also was a hairdresser. They had six children, five of whom were still living at home in 1861. The 1861 census is the last we know of  Edward and Hannah.
