11 Jane Heathers bpts in England on IGI that might fit. Only one Jean Heatlie in Scotland bpt. 1799.
Scottish Jean was nearly always written Jane on English records 

But she could have been married to a Mr Heather 

Gadget - with too many Scottish Jeans and genes to count

Ewan,

Glad you got some more ideas for this - when you make the connection we'll have to come for tea and cakes etc to celebrate.  Will need to make it quick though before the thunderstorms arrive

Hello Gadget, Carol and Pinetree

Carole has found some Rothwells for me in Lancashire, as I mentioned there was the area 'Great Grimsby' at the top of the marriage certificate crossed through.  Now on my little map, Lincolnshire is near to Lancashire, I am just wondering if  Maria Lewis was perhaps baptised there, and it is a place where I should search for this.

Thanks once again for all help, and Pinetree if the forecast is correct regarding thunderstorms  I might make a connection tonight and it will be champers and not tea !

Have a look at this then:

1841
HO107/689/3 Folio 25, Page 4 Reg District Brentford, sub district - Chiswick

Jane Heather, 25-29, not born County. Think the wife of Richard Heather,Brewer's man

Jean nearly always written as Jane in England.

Chiswick is just a hop and a skip as they say 

Gadget - back to the football

Lincolnshire is near to Lancashire,

Miles away  - the other side in fact - strange map you have

Hello Gadget

That is interesting stuff you have found because:

Thomas Davis and his first wife (prior to Maria Lewis) lived at HO107/689/3/37 in Chiswick 1841.

In 1851 Maria and Thomas Davis lived at Hogarth Place  Chiswick HO107/1699, he was a Brewers Servant.

And in 1841, what started this whole thing off, was this Lewis family living at The Mall  Chiswick H0107/689/2 -

I wonder if anyone can help by trying to find a Jane/Jean Heather on the 1851 to see where her birthplace was.

I think we are getting warmer with this one, I am literally.  I am now off to water the marrows etc with a watering can and not hosepipe.

PS This is the second time I have typed this out, I don't think I've left any of my original message out.  I  pressed the wrong button and lost the lot ..........

I've found one possible in Byfleet Surrey husband away. She was born Somerset, circa 1816. I'm still looking though. There's a Richard, b. 1818 also in Byfleet as a Servant 

I was hoping that she would be a Davi(e)s or a Lewis, but can't find a marriage.

I think we might have them in the 1841, Ewan, because the Heathers are living in Hogarth Lane 

Thing is the son is George in 1851 and Richard in 1841 but the dates of birth of Richard snr and Jane match the 1841 

Would like someone else's opinion on this. My eyes are getting squiffy.

I have found the Jane you mean- it actually says she was born in Exeter Devonshire. Her 1841 kids Richard and Sarah are both working as servants in Byfleet(poor kids only 11 and 12) and I think George who is now 12 must have been farmed out to grannie on census day in 1841?

Doesn't dad's occupation now say Guardsman? As in, Jane wife of " guardsman".

Gonna try them in 1861 next.

Hubby is watching yet more football......and I thought we'd lost?

In 1861 the Heathers are in Thames Ditton,Richard is 43 and a gardener(maybe that's what it said in 51?)

They have 19 year old dau Jane b Chiswick living with them and 2 younger ones born in Surrey,they also have a 2 year old nurse child(a foster child) called Agnes Sutton.

Not sure if that helps to move us on at all?

Sure as eggs Maria isn't with them or near them now though 

HMmmmmmmmm...............
