	Perhaps you could post a census you have found the family on. Do you have her birth certificate ?

Member Since: August 2006 Posts: 4 Send Message	Thanks for all of the responses. I already had a lot of information regarding Janes background but nothing since her moving to Trimdon. I dont know if she stayed or went back to the Midlands or if she married. Thanks again <3
