Jane POTTER

-
Name Jane POTTER [1, 2] Christened 4 Mar 1788 East Horsley, Surrey, England [1, 3]
- The marriage register does not give Jane's age, but the 1841 Census gives it as 50. If that age is to be taken literally, then she would only have been 11 years old when she married, but we know that in 1841 the enumerators were instructed to round ages down to the nearest multiple of 5, which means that Jane could have actually been as old as 54 in 1841, consistent with a birth date of 1788. Even with a birth date of 1787 or 1788 she would have only been 14 or 15 years of age; not normal, but not unheard of either.
Gender Female Residence 26 Mar 1820 Queen Street, St John Horsleydown, London, England [4]
Census 6 Jun 1841 Back Street, Horsleydown, Southwark, London, England [5]
- Thomas was not listed, so presumably he was dead and Jane was a widow.

- Jane was a widow, and an Annuitant. She gave her age as 67. Jane's Sister-in-Law Sarah Potter, also a widow, aged 60, lived with them. Her sons James and Charles were both unmarried.
