In 1851 Hannah married Robert Pearsall Smith, a man who descended from a long line of prominent Quakers in the region. From 1873-1874 they spoke at various places in England, including Oxford, teaching on the subjects of the "higher life" and "holiness." In 1874 Hannah helped found the Women's Christian Temperance Union.
