I've seen a few shout-outs to old adventures in the new material as well as some Easter eggs but although I think that Hannah Baumann in the Starter Set rumours is someone who I should know about I can't put my finger on her. Anyone know any more?

Indeed. I liked some of the names which were references to past adventures/campaigns. Alphonse Hercules de Gascoigne (Investigator)
Under Boatman, the first quote is from Travis Binckel, Rivertaxi, a likely reference to Travis Bickle, Robert De Niro's character in the movie Taxi Driver.
The Riverwoman career gives the second quote to Thys Lange (this long!) the Reikland's worst fisherman.
Page 327 gives a quote by Hubert Karter, Tomb Robber. It is likely a reference to Howard Carter, who discovered the tomb of King Tut.

There are likely others I haven't found.

Page 88: a quote from Hansel Solomon, smuggler (reference to Han Solo)
