thank you ann and potty i knew about the baptisum but couldn't find ann's birth

Her birth is on the FreeBMD site

If this is your James Lane's death, it was Feb. 1853 so he couldn't have fathered a child born Oct. 1854.

There is a Tree on Ancestry which shows the 2 marriages of Ann Elizabeth Simmons who married James Lane in 1845 and then married James Fendell in 1857 and has the birth of Jacqueline's GGrandmother Ann 1854 included in the Fendell family
The record shows that James Lane died 28 Mar 1875 West Lavington Wiltshire- the birthplace of James Lane is shown as Great Cheverell Wiltshire 30 June 1825
If the records are accurate it is very unsual for a divorce to have taken place in those times
There are no births on record for Lane /Simmonds marriage

Oh rats! Ann Lane seems to be a widow on the 51 census. She's 25 and has a 2 year old daughter Ann with her, both born Lambeth.

The birth cert would help:

Births Dec 1854 (>99%)
Fendell Ann Lambeth 1d 251

Trees on Ancestry need to be treated with caution. James Lane b 1825 Great Cheverell is on the 1851 census as unmarried, living with his mother, Sarah, so not likely to be the one who married Ann Simmonds. He is on every census until 1871, married to an Elizabeth in the 1861 and 71.

whoever has that tree on ancestry have probly got the facts about james lane wrong. i thought i had seen that on the 1851 census a long time ago that was what made me wonder about ann i've only just got back to it as had a lot of family probs thanks for your help

Have you both those M/C to know it's the same lady

found james lane's death on bmd 1849 so the 1851 census that says ann was a widow is the right one i think thank you all for your help.
