Jane Davis born 1853-4

[PAK]

Jane is shown in 1861 as the daughter of John and Hannah in Colwich, Staffordshire but born in Aston. As they were in their 70s she must be their granddaughter. They had 8 children and after much research I have decided that the best bet to be Jane's parent is Eliza, born in 1831. I know that she had two other illegitimate children in 1850 and 1858, so you might say she had a track record!
However, I'd like to be sure if it's possible (and it may not be). I found a Jane Davis born in Q4 of 1853 but no parish record to show her mother (and maybe even father).
I've discarded Jane baptised at St Martins in Birmingham on 8.8.53, and another one baptised 26.12.53. In each case I found the child with parents in 1861.
I'm asking more in hope than expectation, but does anyone have any information?

Jane is shown as granddaughter  - not daughter.  John & Hannah have 5 grandchildren living with them aged between 3 - 17yrs

There is always the possibility her birth wasn't registered.  Failure to register only became a fineable offence in 1874

Possible Baptism 12.7.1854 - St Barnabas Erdington.   Jane Davis mother Eliza - address Erdington Workhouse

per GRO online - possibility?

Jane Davis June qtr 1854 Birmingham 6d 216   - no mmn shown

Thanks Carole - Erdington workhouse looks like a very good bet. I guess that the borders beween Aston and Birmingham registration districts are fairly fluid, so even though she is shown as born in Aston it could easily have been born and recorded in the Birmingham district.

I also posted this message in the Staffordshire forum in case someone with an interest there might be able to help. Sorry if that broke the rules.
