## Biography

### Life

Hannah Henrietta Linton *(16th Feb 1948-6th March 2023)* was the owner of Carlton Cottage between 1999 and 2023. She was born in Manchester in 1948 to her parents Majorie Sandwich and David Linton. Her younger sister, Jennifer, was born two years later. Despite growing up together and being very close, the two siblings were very different. Hannah was intelligent and studious, while her sister was always in trouble and was very popular. Hannah’s father died of lung cancer when she was 19 and left the Linton family in a bad state. Majorie’s alcoholic brother Jacob provided little in way of support or friendliness. However, Majorie’s mother Henrietta did her best to be helpful and gave the family enough money to keep their home and stay in good conditions. The next terrible thing to happen was Jennifer’s death which affected Hannah deeply. She was distraught when she and her mother discovered Jennifer and her boyfriend Jonas lying dead in the lounge of Carlton Cottage. Hannah spent the next six years in mourning for her deceased father and sister. She met a man in the army who was a captain whom she fell in love with and started dating in 1974 and they got engaged two years later. But just three weeks before there wedding day was due, he was killed in active duty. Hannah vowed never to marry and did not want to be in live with anyone else ever. Her grandmother passed away in 1976, leaving Carlton Cottage to her son Jacob. Hannah did not visit her uncle often and got on with her own life, living with her mother in their home and working in a clothing company. She attended her uncle’s funeral in 1985 when he died after his liver burst. Her mother then inherited Carlton Cottage, now converting it into mini-apartments and renting out the rooms to university students. Hannah lived in a separate small area of the building with her mother up until they had to convert it back into a house in 1992 after the death of Calvin BriarsIt is possible Hannah knew Judge Custard in his lifetime because he died of an alcohol overdose in 1998 and may have remembered him from his brief visit. Hannah was the one who inherited her mother’s home in 1999 and lived there until her own demise in 2023 while her health deteriorated slowly. While she owned Carlton Cottage, she met her Second Cousin Once Removed, Jack Holmes, three times. The first was in 2006 when there was a big family reunion and a second time for Richard Halls’s
