I hit a brick wall. Fannie Ann Goodhue's father was Hannah Goodhew. I know names change within families quite often. I know that Hannah is normally a female name, but I can't find much no matter where I look.

Where do you get that her father's name was Hannah?

1860 US census shows father as George.

Here's George on FindAGrave, I can't make out his parent's names on the death cert, I think father is George also. Our George was a shoe maker.

Ann's death cert lists parents as William Watts and Sarah Knight.

Her father's name was Hannah, according to what I have, but that's why I hit the brick wall. Where were they living?

Fox was her married name. I have her father's name as spelled Goodhew, hers as Goodhue.

Alex, that sounds right. My relatives were from MI. They came from many places, but eventually moved there. Do you have any information on the immigration or ho parents?

Yes I have up dated her profile and his and add Fanny mother and siblings.
Fanny was the only child born in UK all others born MI.
Most of what I found was US federal census data.
In 1900, 1910 & 1920 census Fanny's year of immigration is listed respectively as 1856, 1857, 1854.
Based on Fanny being born 1855 in UK and Sarah Ellen being born 1858 in MI i'd guess 1856 as most likely.
If you look at the FAG link i posted the death certs for both George and Ann are on there, they list DOB, parents and place of birth. I don't really do British genealogy so not much help pushing that backwards. But Neale Anthony Ferguson looks like someone you would like to talk to if he is willing

I've done a bit of merging also, there were a few different versions of Fanny's family already in Geni
