Jane seems to have been with Robert Forrester (First Fleet Convict, Scarborough, 1788) from around 1814 until his death in 1827. The 4 children mention are clearly 4 of the 8 children he had with Isabella Ramsay (Third Fleet Convict, Mary Anne, 1791).

No further records located. No record in the 1828 Census.
