Jane MORTIMORE 1838 FoD (General)

Hi Slowhands,
It's possible, I suppose - although I know from Elizabeth's birth certificate in 1844 that her parents were William and Ann (TIPPINS) MORTIMER.

The really thorny thing is that there appear to be two James MORTIMER/MORTIMOREs on the 1851 census, both connected with the MORTIMER/TIPPINS family.

A thought I had is that perhaps William was married before (he is much older than Ann) and that James (1, b.1833) was his son by his first marriage, while James (2, bc1838) was his son by his second marriage. I haven't been able to find a GRO birth registration for James (2), but did find one for Mary Jane MORTIMORE in Bristol in 1838. I think she is our Jane MORTIMORE/MORTIMER - will have to acquire the birth certificate and see if it sheds any light!

Thanks again for all your help!
Kirsty
