Hannah Maria Keevill Mann was born in Belgravia on 7 March 1853, the
second of six children of Thomas Edward and Hannah Maria Mann.
In 1871, Hannah was living with her family at 10 Albert Street in St.Pancras. She was living at 28 Fitzroy Road in Primrose Hill when she married Alfred Henry Folker at St.Mark's church at Regent's Park on 15 June 1880.
Henry and Hannah went to live at 99 Huddlestone Road in Tufnell Park, Islington where their children, Evelyn and Oscar were born betwen 1881 and 1882. They had moved into 106 St.Georges Road, the next street to Huddlestone Road, before their sons Edgar, Arthur and Sydney were born between 1884 and 1888.
The census of 1891 shows the family living at Albert Terrace in Wolstanton, Staffs. This would be in connection with Henry's employment by Crown Derby pottery on Stoke-upon-Trent, for whom he was an agent.
By 1901, as shown in the census of that year, the family were living at 12 Park Road, Willesden in Middlesex. Their son Oscar had emigrated to South Africa the previous year, and Edgar had moved to Lambeth. Arthur and Sydney both left home in due course, but Evelyn remained and kept house for her parents. Edgar was tragically killed in action in Belgum in 1915.
Their son Sydney married in 1911 and he and his wife had an only daughter, Doady. The couple were heavily engaged in their careers, so it fell to Hannah to look after Doady to the point that she virtually brought her up.
Hannah passed away on 1 March 1929. In her will she left everything to her husband Henry, with the exception of her jewellery which she left to her daughter Evelyn. Upon the death of Henry, the residue of her estate was to be divided amonst her surviving children, but monies invested to give an income to Evelyn.
