    Notes:

    In an email (28/10/2010) Sylvia Sheehan suggests that Jane married a John Heys and that they went to Australia:

    Comments:
    I have a common relative in your tree of Jane Ashburner (b1861), sister of Elizabeth (b1870), parents are Christopher (b1830) and Bridget Simpson (b1830).

    The connection is: Jane married John Heys in 1853 in Dalton-in-Furness. (I believe 1853 is a typo - DS)

    Their son, John (b1890 in Melbourne Vic Autralia) married Catherine Walker (b1893) are the parents of Ron Heys who I am researching for. Ron is my daughter-in-law's father.
