Ahhh- so if she married in 1914, that Jane/ Jenny wasn't a child of Janet or Thomas, but a possible sister of Thomas.

The 1914 marriage certificate is in a tree on Ancestry.

Marriage: 24th June 1914, Parish Church Newcastle upon Tyne

Jane Atkinson, spinster, age 26
Address 9 Lune? Street
Father: John Atkinson (deceased), steamboat man

Joseph Graham, bachelor, carrier, age 26
Address: Sou?burn Road
Father: John Graham (retired)

Witnesses: G Graham & K Atkinson
--------------------------

I think this is likely them in 1939:

Household (7 People) 5 Shield Street , Newcastle-upon-Tyne C.B., Northumberland, England

Sorry, this record is officially closed.
Henry Graham 11 Jun 1920 Male Rivetters Labourer Shipyard Heavy Worker Single
Joseph jnr Graham 09 Jun 1917 Male General Labourer Heavy Work Single
John Graham 16 Jun 1915 Male General Labourer Heavy Work Single
Joseph Graham 04 Sep 1885 Male General Labourer Cartman Married
Lily Graham 11 Oct 1926 Female At School Single
Jane Graham 03 Aug 1888 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married
-----------------------------------

However, looking at the newspaper cuttings (1944 & 1945) there was also another Jane/ Jennie/ Jenny (with partner Joseph) that was the child of Janet.

Yes, Ginny was my GF's sister. Her Father John is my GGF. His Father Joseph is my GGGF also my brick wall.

5 Shield Street was next to the park opposite Christ Church.

On the census my GGF husband of Rosanna Father of a daughter of the same name
was listed as being a general labourer and illiterate

Quite humbling.
