Jane Oakey

[Mike Thw]

In Q1 1892 John Dunn married Jane Oakey; registered Westbury on Severn.

I have full info on John but struggling to find any for Jane.

Oakey appears to be her maiden name, confirmed by children's birth registration on GRO. Her birth place in 1901 is "Gloucestershire" and birth year 1871. In 1911 she is probably in Hereford and District Lunatic Asylum.

Can any body help in confirming her birth-year and narrowing down her birth-place?

Just a thought - In 1891 a  Sarah Jane Oakey b 1872  Castlemorton, Malvern was a servant at the Vicarage, Woodend, Awre, Westbury on Severn - the village where John Dunn was living in 1891

Added - In 1881 I think her surname mistranscribed as Pakey - born Norton, Glos

That sounds very reasonable - thank you very much.

I think (hope  ) that that is a different person. I still have John Dunn alive in 1911 with his children.
