Many of the Flegg family, who came from the northern part of Suffolk, were skilled workers, sawyers, carpenters, gamekeepers. Before her marriage to William Flegg, Mary Ralph was working as a house servant for the well-known Garrett family in Aldeburgh. Hannah's uncle, Thomas, married Lydia Ponder; she was the aunt of Arthur Ponder, whom Hannah eventually married. Hannah worked as a children's nurse, firstly in Leiston, then moving to Eltham as a nurse for another family. Hannah's sister Anna Maria was known as Aunt Tiny because she was so small. She and William's daughter (Millicent) May fostered children over a long period.
