Hi Kelly
I have found a marriage reference for John Lane in Jersey -
St Clement's, Jersey: John Lane: period Oct 1842 - June 1872, page 103.
With this reference you can get a copy of the marriage certificate from:
The Superintendent Registrar
10 Royal Square
St Helier, Jersey JE2 4WA
The fee is £10 per certificate plus postage/handling (UK 50p; Europe £1 and elsewhere £2) - by a UK cheque or British postal order. (No credit card orders, unfortunately). If you need to call them you can ring +44 1534 502335.
There is more info on resources at:
http://user.itl.net/~glen/CIResearch.htmlI think the reference above may, however, be for his marriage to Elizabeth - from St Clements (see below). I didn't find any other reference for Jane - are you sure they weren't married in England?
I have found Jane's death reference -
Jane Lane May 1860- Dec 1861 page 96
(You can get a copy of the cert from above address)
I have the family in Jersey censuses:

The children's birth refs are:

Please let me know if you need any more look-ups in Jersey.
