Susan, looks like Jane re-married William Crabtree in 1868 using the name Jane Durkine.

She married Miles 'Darken' in 1860 - not sure where the surname 'Clayton' comes into things, as their daughter was born Clayton, but Ann appears on the 1871 census with her mother Jane Crabtree as Annie Durken.

Might be a good idea to get the marriage certificate of Miles 'Darken' and Jane Howarth.

Unless anyone else sees things differently, I think Miles Clayton and Miles 'Darken' are one and the same ! ?????

If you see Choccy's first reply he has a Jane Durkine marrying a William Crabtree. In the 1871 census there is an Annie Durken living with Jane Crabtree. Not sure where the name Durkine/en comes from but these do appear to be your people.
Have you a birth for Miles Clayton? Could he possibly have changed his name?

Thank you both . I only have a birth for miles from the census . On the register from St Johns in Accrington it gives anns name as clayton fathers name miles clayton . this is in 1881 they are living in edmund st the same as you found on the 1881 census as jane is down as crabtree,. I think he must have gone under another name or she canged hers if he was a bad lot . Thank you both once again . It takes a while for it all to sink in sometimes
