I am probably being very dim - but are you saying that you think Hannah is Edith?

Many thanks

No, I was just looking at Hannah's family on the various censuses to find the connection to Edith, and since I've now spotted that there is an Edith next door to Hannah's family in 1901, we should work out what exactly their connection is pretty soon! My guess is we will find out that they are sisters. Maybe Edith is Ada in 1911?

Oooh -Thank you Kite

There is no Ada Rathbone birth in Runcorn in 1891 and there is an Edith Rathbone Dec 1891 so I would think "Ada" is Edith. You could look at the actual image of the 1911 census to see if she is mistranscribed, and also to check whether she is George Henry's daughter. If it does say Ada on the actual image then I suppose your best bet might be to get Edith Rathbone's birth certificate to see if George Henry is her father.

Oh, and I forgot to check for George's marriage before:

Dec 1887 possible marriage between George Henry Rathbone and Annie Elizabeth Boote, Prescot district, on FreeBMD, can't see it on Lancashire BMD to check.

Thank you very much for all that, Kite

I will look at the 1911 when I am next at Kew
