Hi there, not sure who asked the question, but My great grandmother was Sarah Jane Lane nee Hedges. For many years several of us were looking over the Braintree, Essex lot of Hedges, I think it was as they had a Joseph and several other members who matched. We could never find our Sarah Jane until the 1851 Census came into vogue on the net and there she was at Ware Hertford, with the rest of her family. Then in the 1871 census, they decided on a name change and became BIRD. this was picked up by another of my first cousins wives who very cleverly took all the christian names without a surname in the 1871 census and the whole family showed up as BIRD. I wouldn't know why this was. Maybe could have been his mothers maiden name.Elizabeth the daughter was blind, so maybe was trying to keep her out of the workhouse. Don't know. Anyway Sarah Jane Hedges married my Great Grandfather who was born in 1839, son of Charles Lane and Mary Ann Crane. Sarah was his second wife, he had been married before with a daughter Martha. who was born in Colchester in 1865.
Joseph Crane Lane was in the first Royal Scots for 20 years 1861 to 1881. Sarah Jane HEDGES and all the 9 children were on all posts with him.. They had children born in Scotland, Ireland and England. She was a Tailoress. My grandfather Joseph Henry LANE was born at Fort George, Inverness, Scotland, in 1875. Off hand Sarah and Joseph were married in 1872 but down in Essex.
I haven't got past c1818 for the birth of Joseph HEDGES, but once saw a birth of a Elizabeth in Ely in Cambridge who I wondered if she had been his sister. Now this is the family for Joseph and Emily Linton.

In 1891 census, William he was a Brick maker and Brick Layer. Isabella was born 27 Oct 1854, Ware, Hertfod. I have ten children for them.
