Hi Gary

The 1851 census for Dorset - HO 107/1858 has a 22 years old Jane Hannam, dressmaker born at Sydling, as a visitor at Rectory House, Winterborne, Monkton, Dorset. Found nothing obvious in the 1841 Dorset census.

Family Search has the following baptismal record at Sydling (the only one anywhere near relevant for Dorset):

Jane, daughter of James Hanham (sic) and Elizabeth, 11 March 1830. Note though that this information is listed in lower case.
