Elizabeth's marriage to Edward Leaver.

Do you know what her connection to Rebecca Lewis was? I see in 1871 Rebecca was working as a servant in Brighton, where the Leavers were living in 1901 and 1911, and probably earlier if their marriage and birth place of children is anything to go by.

I wondered if this might be the death of Jane and Richard's son Frederick, as he was not with them in 1901 and I couldn't find him elsewhere.

Shelly - Jane Lott on the 1911 census transcription looks like Jane Lobb on the actual census image - I think she's Lobb not Lott.
