• Notes

  Marries Harry Edwin JOHNSON Macclesfield, 17/12/1892. It is not clear what happens after 1901 Census. There is a possible record for 1911, but ages and birth locations are more incorrect than would be expected. Harry appears in the 1939 Register as a widower, but there is no obvious record for Jane dying between 1901 and 1911.
