If Hannah was born around 1714, daughter of Paul and Rebecca
Basford/Beresford, then yes. I don't know anything more about Hannah's
marriage, but have a couple of Beresfords marrying Elses a little later in
time.

I also have details from the following Wills which may be of use:

1. Joseph Beresford, died 28th October, 1780 and proved 13th November,
1780:

Beneficiaries:
Brother: Paul Beresford, and his son Paul
Thomas Beresford, and his son Job of Ashover

Rebecca Cufrit, widow, of Shetton, her son William
Dorothy Brown, wife of William, of Kirk Ireton
Paul Bower of Skegby
Joseph Young, tailor, of Wirksworth
Anne Berks, wife of Jacob, of Ashover
Mary Smith, widow, her son John
The Poor of Matlock (12 penny loaves on every sacrament day for
ever)
William Godward (trustee)

The Estate was valued at under 20.

2. Job Beresford, shoemaker of Lead Mills, Wooley Moor, dated 23rd
September, 1798, proved 10th April, 1799:

Wife: Sarah

Sons: John Berrisford (executor)

3. Sarah's will, (Widow of Ashover, died March 1812) proved 13th October,
1812:

Daughters: Elizabeth Fritchley, wife of John Fritchley of Fritchley
Sarah Goodwin of Mark Eaton

Hope that proves of interest:-)
