Thank you for the update Jax.

Just to link in with Frances on OH's tree, her father James CHALK is shown as a land surveyor when she married.

Pm from Christine

Hallo Jax,
The marriage certificate for Jane and Thomas Cole arrived today. Jane's maiden name is Chalk and her father is James Chalk, Land Measurer. This was the last occupation of the James Chalk who was the father of "our" Jane so I think there can be no doubt that this is the correct Jane. In addition the last place they lived was Raynes Park and my mother in law remembered being taken as a child to visit a relative in Raynes Park. Many thanks for your help, it has made all the difference.
Best wishes Christine

I have ordered the marriage certificate for Jane Chalk and Thomas Cole. When this arrives I will come back and let you know whether this has solved the mystery of the missing Jane.

If you do go ahead and get the marriage cert could you please come back to this thread and let us know whether it is correct or not

Thank you for suggestions about Jane Cole. I hadn't come across that name before and shall now follow it up. The Jane Chalk I am seeking is definately the younger sister of Frances, born in Whiteparish, Wilts in 1842. Frances was the oldest of the children of James Chalk and Ann Hatcher. The other siblings were James, Annie, Mary Temperance, Frank and Emma.

My word..........well done ja...x! You're a great researcher.

Obviously, 'thinking out of the box' has worked well on this one.


I would never have worked that puzzle out........so will just stick to letting folks know they have replies....lol

There are several Public Family Trees on ancestry that have this Jane Chalk on them


none has taken her past the 1881 Census!

As Gwyn has said the sister Frances lived in Chipstead it looks quite possible that this could be the correct Jane

So it did'nt look like they had children...only the marriage cert would prove whether it is the right one or not

As Christine sys, there were other Jane Chalk(e) in the area ....... in fact, there were 3 born in ca 1858, according to the 1881 Census

One of those was already in the Asylum, and in fact the census states that her birthplace was "unknown"


Jane Chalk abt 1858 Patient Devizes St James, Wiltshire


Then there was this one:-

Jane Chalk abt 1858 Downton, Wiltshire, England Head Downton, Wiltshire


and finally, the one who Christine says is definitely the one she is looking for:-

Jane Chalk James abt 1858 Downton, Wiltshire, England Daughter Downton, Wiltshire
