IF the birth was registered its most likely in the Mar qtr 1855

Are you sure it's the wrong Mother.
Mother may have been called something else by the family. ie: My mum is Nancy but her first MIL called her Daisy even though she knew her name.
Just something to think about as whoever filled in The Family Bible may have called her by another name.

It would appear that the family moved from Farmborough to Merewoth in Kent

Just a thought Might Jane have been married before.

Marriages Sep 1840
FORD Jane Wincanton 10 681
PERRY George Wincanton 10 681
There are quite a few Deaths for George PERRY between 1840 & 1854 in the area.

Marriages Dec 1854
Parfitt John Keynsham 5c 1257
Perry Jane Keynsham 5c 1257

if you read the rules GR do not allow duplicate postings - now you have caused fellow members to assist you on both postiungs with lots of information - most of which is probably duplicates!!! extremely annoying and time wasting
