Research Notes

• There are variations of both Janey's first name and birth surname. Although the 1841, 1851, 1861 and 1871 censuses record the her name as "Jane", the death certificate has "Janey" and the parish baptism record has "Jeney" (probably a transcription error - no image can be found). Whilst the baptism record has "Clarke" the parish marriage record omits the "e". Chris Orme 6 September 2018.
• The probable baptism record for Janey^[6] is a little difficult to read but seems to be, "Jeney, dr of Sarah Clark Ilege^t". The abbreviated word at the end probably stands for "illegitimate". To date no records have been found with any details of the father. Chris Orme 22 July 2021
