Why do you think she was born 1706 in London?

What research has the National Trust done on her?

Something I read on national trust website said the master of the house. Brought her from london I'm not sure she was born there. Cant find anything because its before census.

" The tradition was started in 1791 by Philip I who commissioned a set of 6 portraits from John Walters of Denbigh. Amongst others, the portraits commemorate:

    Jane Ebrell, house-maid and spider brusher, aged 87;"

I don't think we can assume that her portrait was done in 1791 but it's probably not too far out, and if so, her year of birth would be 1704.

I have seen the portrait and read on National trust. But I need to know who her husband was when they married and if they only had one child. Looked but cant find anything  it's a hard one because even though she came from London was she born there?was she already Married ?

Could this be a burial record for Jane's husband?  One has to bear in mind that names may well have been spelt as they were heard.

First name(s)   John
Last name   Ebrall
Birth year   -
Burial year   1783
Burial date   09 Dec 1783
Place   Marchwiel
Parish   Marchwiel
County   Denbighshire
Country   Wales

I get the impression from google maps that Marchwiel is where Erddig is.  Marchweil appears in the Malpas district of the Wrexham registration district.
