Hi Ron

What sort of information are you after? Or put it another way, what information do you have already?

I have a copy of the 1891 census for "The California Inn" , showing  Thomas Heslop and his wife, Jane  plua a family of Heslops , who I know were from Thomas's previous marriage. Jane, I believe was also a widow, married to a Carrick (maybe a Thomas & previous owner of the inn). I think Jane's maiden name was Moor(e) but I can't find a birth-place. Does that help? ..Ron H.

Thanks so much for all detail sent but, unfortunately, this is information I already have. Thomas was married 3 (three) times; firstly to Isabell Hutchison, then to Jane Ann Parkin (nee Inman), who died in 1890 and then to another Jane. She was Jane Carrick (nee Moor(e)) and it's her place of birth and ancestry I'm trying to trace. Very complicated ,I know, but thank you for confirming what I have already.. Regards.. Ron H.
