Hicke-1 and Hicks-10901 appear to represent the same person because: Hicks was her surname when christened. Her mother's name was Jenifer Hicks as well. Hicks was her name on her marriage records. She appears to have a nickname of Jane which appears in the 1841 census record and on the birth records of some of the children.
