Well, that blew out the window. I was able to trace all the Jane Weston's in Liverpool and none of them are her. So, she must have been under a different surname in 1881 and before.

I'm not sure about the following death ref. There were two, one in Godstone 1894 and another in Epsom in 1895. I was able to discount the one in Epsom because that Jane appears on the 1891 census.

As I said, the Godstone one's a bit iffy too because there was two other Jane's around the same age.


The birth years out a bit.



Name: Jane Weston
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1815
Year of Registration: 1894
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Age at Death: 79
District: Godstone
County: Surrey
Volume: 2a
Page: 133

Hi Mrs Tibs,

I've been trying all day to find the link between Elizabeth Meredith and Jane Weston. I have a strong hunch that Jane is the paternal grandmother. The reason I say this is because JJ and Frances were'nt registered Merediths or Westons, so registered under their mother's surname (whatever THAT was!).

Their father was probably Jane's son.

Elizabeth married Minnie's father (probably in Ireland shortly before Minnie was born). I don't think we stand a chance of finding out Elizabeth's maiden name but again, I have a hunch she's Jane's sister.

If that's the case then Manaretta, JJ and Frances are second cousins and not half siblings.

I think that we'd have a much better chance tracing Jane Weston. There's really only one Jane in earlier census records in Lancs that could be her.

I'm just off to find her details.

Hi Sue

It looks like it starting to come together!

Any update on Minnie being the mother of JJ and Frances? Can we link the Jane Weston to Elizabeth & Minnie?

If we're on the right track, then Frances Meredith b1890, Chertsey should have been born an Earl as Minnie was married by then.

So, I think we're missing some important link here.

Is Minnie the mother of JJ and Frances or not?
