I think Harrett & Hannah are the same person. Although the 1881 census transcription is given as Hannah, it is actually Harrett on the original. Also, although in the 1881 census Harrett is described as unmarried, in the 1891 census she is a widow & in the 1871 & 1861 censuses she is with her husband William. www.freebmd.org.uk (http://www.freebmd.org.uk) lists the marriage of William COLLINS in March quarter 1858, Woodbridge registration district, volume 4a page 766. On the same page is Harriet RICHARDSON. In the 1841 census, she lives a few doors away from William COLLINS.
Her name is spelt Harriet, Harrett, Harritt.
When were Reg, Vera May & Ivy May born?

Genealogy Event
It's planned for the 20th October in Hollesley village hall and should commence at 11am.

Hopefully there will be some details a bit nearer the time in the local press and maybe on Suffolk radio.

There will also be items in the local newsletter for Hollesley and the surrounding area and posters going up next month.
