 Great photo!  will have to get my act together and scan some of these photos I have, but most aren't as good as the past few , but something at least. I will try to send to your personal email address.
Warm regards from Lois

Well here are 2 more, one of my grandmother Florence Jane, her husband Charles Allen, my mother Gladys, her brothers Reg and John, taken in Winnipeg Canada probably about 1916 or so.  The other is of Ann Hawke Jane (nee Keast), in 1908 and she is 65 years old.  This photo was taken at the Launceston Markets.
Hope you enjoy these!

one last time - hopefully a bit larger and easier to see!! Ann and Samuel were married nearly 60 years and died 5 days apart!

Hi!  The picture I have of John Jane (they called him Jack!) is taken when he is 88 years old.  Florence was the youngest and married Charles Horace Shedwell Allen in Cornwall and moved to Canada where they both lived out their lives.  I have a picture of John's mother and father - Ann Hawke Jane (nee Keast) and Samuel Jane, and some of his siblings.  I will endeavour to scan and send a few a time.  A bit short of time right now, as working 5 days a week and of course the Christmas rush!!!  I live in Australia now, having moved here 25 years ago from Canada!
I  will try to send a couple of photos this time!!! have been trying to send but the kb are too high. will try again in a couple of days when I figure out how to compress the photos!

Anne Hawke Jane nee Keast was my great grandmother.  She had 16 children, 2 died at birth.  One of them was John Jane, one of them being my grandmother Florence Jane.  My mother Gladys made an album up of all Anne H Jane's children and she even has a photo of your John Jane!!  He was evidently sent to live with his uncle at an early age because they had no children of their own.  Seems harsh if true, but in those days I suppose life was often cruel.  Anne Hawke Keast was the illegitimate daughter of Caroline Keast and William Hawk(e) who was a prominent landholder in Pillaton.  The story already alluded to by another poster.  I hope I can send a photocopy of John Jane's photograph to you via this site.
