Thanks Geoff.

That's two daughters. All we know is that parents Daniel & Jane had died by early 1857.

Unclear what happened to young Jane

 

[horse]

The 1841 census suggests they were on their own for whatever reason

 

[DaveHam9]

So that is looking as though both parents died before 1841.

Jane ended up in Australia but another sister Maria remained in England.

Sleep time, speak later, Dave....
