I believe from her sister Susannah's will that Jane married a man with the surname of RAY, and they had 4 children - Susan (who married a man named WATTS), John, Edwin, and Elizabeth (who married a man named TURNER).

William's sister Susannah's will tells us that William had a daughter Mary who I believe married a man named RICKETTS

We know that Jane married a man named James RAY in Haddenham, Buckinghamshire, England on 12 Oct 1829, and had two daughters Susan and Elizabeth, and two sons John and Edwin.

Susan married a man named WATTS and Elizabeth a man named TURNER.

I'm told by a man named Geoff Ray from Perth Australia, the great-grandson of Jane's son Edwin, that Edwin Ray was born 14 October 1842 and he married Christina Falconer 25 September 1864.

Alfred had a son named Daniel

We know from the will of Mary's sister Susannah, that Mary had a son named William Rose, as well as three daughters Elizabeth Rose, Jane Rose and Emma Chamberlin. I found it quite confusing at first that her children had taken on her maiden surname of ROSE, but I later learned from a direct descendant of hers, Alan Rose, that she did in fact marry a man but with the same surname - she married Robert Rose. Alan tells me they had seven children, two sons then a daughter whom they named Anne Knibbs, but the second son William died young and they named their final son William. He was Alan's great grandfather.

Mary's son William was one of the executors of his aunt Susannah's will.

Alan Rose told me that the families of Robert Rose and Mary Rose were in fact connected, but several generations before. So it's most unlikely that they would have known of the connection themselves. Apparently, Robert Rose was born in Whitchurch but later moved to Haddenham.

Mary's son William went on to own a farm, windmills, and various and cottages. His father, Robert, was of humble standing so no-one quite understands how William came by his riches. Alan Rose who contacted me in 2005 told me that his family still lives in one of the cottages that his great grandfather William owned so they have reason to be grateful for whatever it was that he did.

Alan also told me that his mother found another little snippet in a family bible where it was noted that one of William's children who died
young was named Jane Knibbs Rose.

We know from Susannah's will that her brother Eldred married a girl name Emma and, it would appear that there were no children from the marriage.

From his sister Susannah's will we know that Edward had three daughters - Kate, Fanny and Laura(?).

We know from Susannah's will that her brother Edward had three children, Kate, Fanny and Laura(?).

We know from the will of Samuel's sister Susannah that Samual had a daughter Emma (who married a man named POOLE), and three sons Harry, Alfred and William.

Harry was one of the executors of his aunt Susannah's will.
