Jane TILLEY born abt 1816 ?Fen(ny)Stanton
« on: Monday 07 June 21 12:53 BST (UK) »
I'm attempting to verify a Jane TILLEY who was the second wife of Joseph TILLEY - married in Thorpe Langton, Leicestershire on January 9th 1837. The census returns for 1851 and 1861 both declare that she was born in Fenny Stanton around 1816. The GRO inbdexes for her eight children confirm her maiden name as Tilley.

Joseph died in Medbourne in 1863 after which Jane disappears from the records.

There are a number of paradoxes here. Joseph's mother, Hannah Beldam, was born in Fenny Stanton  in 1779. She married Francis Tilley, from Thorpe Langton, in Fenny Stanton on July 29th 1803. One of the witnesses was a John Tilley - so far not connected with the Leicestershire family -who married Hannah's sister, Ann.

Joseph was born the year after his parent's marriage but was baptised 300 miles away in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire. 

Freereg notes that John Tilley and Ann Beldam had a daughter, Susannah baptised in Fenny Stanton on October 16th 1803 and a son William on July 2nd 1803. Is it possible that Jane was another of their daughters?

Many thanks

Thank you for the tip, Magslote. Sadly it doesn't answer the question posed in my original post.

However there is another entry about the same time which adds an extra potential bit of intrigue. An infant, Hannah TILLEY, was buried at the same church in Fen Stanton on August 23rd 1819. No other family details but as noted previously the parents of Jane's future husband, Joseph, were Francis and Hannah TILLEY. A connection there perhaps?

How do you account for any/all of the eight children in the 1871, and later, Census records?

As an older widow Jane would be likely to live at some time with a son or daughter.
