looking for Jane Venn after 1901, she is living with her mother Charlotte in Somerset in 1901.

Charlotte died in 1902 but i can't find any record for Jane unless i've just missed it!

Jane was born c.1860 in Stawley Somerset to Charlotte and Isaac Venn.

appreciate any help! thank you.

Not seeing a birth for Jane in 1860? or a marriage for Charlotte and Isaac Venn?

There is this marriage in Bristol as a possible:-

County: Gloucestershire
Year of registration: 1902
Quarter of registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Spouse's last name: Not available before 1912

One of the possible spouses on the above marriage is William Siniger. On the 1911 census record for him there is a wife called Jane Siniger whose name has been crossed out although William still describes himself as married.

Isaac and Charlotte were married in 1843 in Tiverton, but i have also just seen there doesn't seem to be a birth record for Jane.

but her birth doesn't seem to vary much throughout census.

thanks Kathleen, i'll have a look into that one! kind of makes sense if her mother died in 1902

The Jane Venn with mother Charlotte though doesn't vary in DOB, and is on the 1861 age 1 so I don't think this is her.

EDIT See you have all got there first, but will leave this up as it has details on it. I think this proves it is not the correct Jane. :-) :-) :-)

Thanks Alviegal - I thought the age was out a bit.
