I've got all the information I need after 1841. It's the pre-1841 stuff I'm after. I know she was married to a Mariner called Richard Crosby and they had a daughter born in Hamburg in in 1827. By 1841 she was a Charwoman and 14 year old Jane is in service at a Hull Dental Surgeon's house.

Where does the possible maiden surname Boyes come from :-\

Daughter Jane is called Jane Boyes Crosby. Guess on my part but seemed common practice around then to give firstborn the same middle name as mother's maiden name.

John & Jane Boyes were also the witnesses to Harriet Conyer's marriage to Richard Crosby.

Thanks all. Looking like Harriet Connors is the person I'm looking for and she honoured the Boyes' who witnessed her marriage by giving their name as the middle names to her children. They must have been quite important to her.
