Thanks Sue, yes its a bit of a mystery, the only birth record I could find was this one which was 1844 with Bird as parents, but wasnt convinced it was the correct Jane. Especially as neither James or Ann Rickett show any chinese heritage but every DNA test showing since then with Jane as a family member, has a % of chinese, reducing down each generation it seems. I am at a loss to work out who this Jane was. I havent been able to find marriage info either. Cornelius had a first wife Mary ann Barrett who died in childbirth but I havent been able to find any details about that child, birth or death. I have assumed Jane came after that. I was going to show copy of birth document showing 1844 but cant see how to add it, sorry
