Hi, John Reed born 1804, so 20 years younger than Jane, interested to know about a previous son as I hadn't seen any evidence of that, I knew Jane was born in Chard in 1824 due to the census that had her place of birth, couldn't find her maiden name at all until I stumbled on two private family trees with Jane Cude mentioned. Jane and John's first born son was named Edwin Cude Reed born in 1848, I contacted the families with the private tree had one answer who confirmed it was Jane Cude his link was with John Reed's brother, thank you
