Hi Michael
I am trying to find out more about Jane Sedgwick Lean Cole b c 1802, Plymouth Devon.
we have her in the 1841 (aged 35), 1851 (aged 49), 1861 (aged 59)...
I think this may be her in 1871:
Melville House, Wilton street, Portsmouth
Jane S Cole, lodger , widow, 70 annuitant b devonshire, Plymouth
living with Archibald and Louisa Your.
ahhh hah !! Here is her death:
Jane Sedgewick Cole
b abt 1801
died: sept q 1875
Portsea Island, Hampshire
vol 2b pg 279
I still cannot find her birth although her siblings Alice Sedgwick Lean , Francis Lean, William Blinkhorn Lean and Rebecca Sedgwick Lean , were all christened by their parents Francis Lean and Rebecca.
I wonder if Rebecca Sedgwick Lean isn't Jane Sedgwick Lean. Maybe when they were growing up they differentiated the Mother (Rebecca) with the daughter (Rebecca) by calling her JANE ! LOL ...clutching at straws here

will search firther
