Research Notes

Based on her birth-year (1811) and place (Ireland), residence (Peel, Ontario), and having a son named Marlborough, this is probably the Jane Nixon (age 50 in 1861) in the 1851 Census:

If this is the correct one, then her husband would be Alexander Nixon, farmer, born about 1797 in Ireland.
