Jane's father John, age 42, is a locksmith.

Her mother Mary Ann is age 43.

Jane would have been 18 but she is not mentioned - instead someone called Esther (?) is listed at age 18 - as a general servant. It is possible that Esther was simply listed as a daughter even though she was no relation - just the census taker making a mistake.

A sister, Selina, is listed as being aged 4 and a young brother Robert as aged 2.

Two lodgers - Samuel Russell age 44 (a taylor - sewing man) and Alfred Massey age 28 (a bricklayer) were also living in the house.
