Thanks Geoff.

So many Jane Cooksleys. I'm not sure there is only the one born Wiveliscombe. If there is then we have the right one married to William Chedzey.


No Kibbey/Kibby birth reg to 1871 with mmn Cooksley.

Jane Kibbey in 1871 ?? I'm having no luck with FS.

I have managed to track Jane through the Censuses upto 1881. I cannot find her in 1891.

1841 HO107/950/10/F27/p47
In Wiveliscombe with parents William and Ann and siblings

1851 HO107/1921/F100/p66
Still in Wiveliscombe with family

1861
RG09/1687/F129/p39
Working as a servant for a family called Lamb in Bath

1871 RG10/169/F4/p2
A Dressmaker lodging in Marylebone

1881 RG11/737/F159/p22
Still a dressmaker, living in Lewisham with husband William Chedzey.

Surname Cooksley except for 1881 when it's Chedzey

Also, from the GRO site births

Jane Cooksley Dec 1838 Wellington Somerset & Devon 10 447 mmn Anne Farmer

After searching the census on FS it seems there is only the one born Wiveliscombe.

One other born North Pemberton and another born way further north in Somerset.

CHEDZEY Jane of 21 Hamilton-road West Norwood Surrey widow died 15 May 1904
