i wonder if anyone can look on the SMI for Jane's first marriage
That had already been done

When I answered your query yesterday, I had checked the marriage indexes for any female named Jane marrying a male by the surname of Thatcher, especially in or arouind Hastings - there are two; but as they are in 1643 & 1683 - both are over 100 years to early!!
So, if Jane did marry a Thatcher, then it must have been just outside the boundaries of Sussex.
