Hi Trevor and Trish,
Jane is Jane Rowley b Bocking in the 1851 census, I can't find her in the 1841 census.
I can't find any evidence that her maiden name was Green, other than other people's trees, which may be based on the fact that her eldest daughter was Elizabeth GREEN Rowley. I haven't found any evidence of her marriage to Samuel Rowley, though as he was a soldier and the eldest daughter seems to have been born in Ceylon, the marriage could have taken place anywhere.
I too think Jane's death is 1859 age 66, which would put her birth around 1793, roughly in line with the 1851 census.
I only made the connection with Catherine as I was looking for other Greens born in Bocking around the same time as Jane. I don't know if they are related, I was hoping they would both show up in the baptism records with the same parents.
(to Trevor) Yes, the Catherine I'm looking at died 1865 in Braintree, she is in the 1841,1851 and 1861 censuses. An 1783 baptism is probably too early for her.
The Shelley baptism is worth looking at, though I wonder why both Jane and Catherine are recorded in censuses as being born in Bocking, rather than Shelley.
Interestingly it appears a Jane Green (mother of the Shelley baptism?) was still alive and living in Shelley with her son Samuel (b1806) in the 1851 census, so potential for more investigation there.
Thanks for your input so far.
Rob
