I love clues like these: rare, yet so very helpful. Jane Harris is named in the census image here as being cousin of the Taylors, specifically the wife Isabella. Unfortunately much of the fun of the chase went as I already guessed she was Jane Airey baptised 1836 at Troutbeck. However I didn't have her marriage, and good old freebmd showed this took place near Warrington, Lancashire. And familysearch's Cheshire records gave the parish and confirmed her father's name. The Lakes had so few people then it was easy to find Jane's remarriage, and later, her will. Which led me to a great-niece (sic) aged 90 in the Isle of Wight. Census image: Crown copyright
