Noted a Jane (Christie) died on 1 7 1827 age about80 (Smees records show age87) as emancipist mother of maybe 2children & was buried, as (Hesketh) at St Matthews CofE Windsor. The confusion here arises from proper identification of Jane (Christie)s arrival & because Smees record for Jane (Christie)s death shows her as named Jane (Hesketh) wife of Robert & as arrived on BODDINGTONS 1793.
