Hi Margaret,
After many hours looking for my own ancestors, and doing lookups on here (recently subscribed to ancestry.com so got access to 1861, 71, 81,91 and 1901 census), when I cant find the right family by typing in the surname, I do what a lot of the others do on here I'm sure, - just type in the forename, county and/or village of birth and rough date of birth. It brings up a lot of possibilites, but with your Jane, I just looked through the ones beginning with F because I realised its a name that can be easily transcribed incorrectly, and saw Ferens so I checked it out. Its then easy to look for ones with the right husband/children etc
I like the challenging searches, its amazing what the transcribers misread names as
Regards,
Catherine
