• Notes

  Evidence for Jane Harker is based on the fact that there is such a name in 1841 Census with parents matching the bapt details, but not in 1851, even though by her marriage in 1853 there were 2 children and either another or she was pregnant. But no obvious Jane harker in 1851 and it was probably better to have her as a Desborough with James her partner with the other Desboroughs.... There is no record of Jane DESBOROUGH with James in the 1881 Census (James says he is married), nor anywhere else. I cannot find any record of a death between 1871 and 1881 (nor as HARKER). There is not even any evidence of a (re-)marriage with either HARKER or DESBOROUGH, nor a later census as HARKER, The most likely would seem to be that she died, still married between 1871 and 1881.
