Sent for death cert, GG Granny, letter this morning...wrong husband. Just today renewed Ancestrey, I am totally lost, and need new eyes please. Jane Evans married Thomas Davies, they had 3 kids the last being born 1866...so that is the last sighting of Jane alive for sure. I thought she died in 1866, probably after child birth...WRONG!! By 1871, Thomas is living with Janes widowed Mother, and the 3 children. Thomas remarries inDec quarter of 1871. Can anyone see another Jane Davies dead or alive, between 1866 and 1871 in Shifnal area of Shropshire. Hope this is plain as it has thrown 6 months, believing the wrong Jane death was mine....I am fed up!
