From Cork Teacher's Wife to Stonehaven Pauper

In 1849 Hannah Mathieson (nee Stretton) was living in Cork with her husband William Mathieson an army pensioner employed as a teacher with the British Army Cork Garrison.  Hannah was also pregnant with their 7th child.  However Hannah's life was to take a dramatic change.  Husband William died in Cork in 1849 and the following year Hannah gave birth to daughter Rebecca at Cork. 

What happened next is unclear but Hannah appears on the 1951 Census living in Cameron Street, Stonehaven as a widowed pauper with her 7 children.  Husband William was born in Midmar and there are several Mathieson families living in the Parish of Fetteresso, so did Hannah move to Kincardineshire to be near his relatives?  Unfortunately I have been unable to ascertain who husband William's parents were so cannot be certain.

I have not completely updated Hannah's profile on Wikitree but here is a link to it.
