1841 census shows Jane with James, Betty and their children George and Henry. If Jane were Betty's child she would have been born when Betty was 50 which is unlikely although possible. The igi reveals just the mother of Jane: 'Elizabeth' - could have been Betty, or George's wife. So, not clear whether Jane is George's sister or daughter.

'Charles was born to Mary, wife of John Coleman' according to the Parish Records - ' a soldier in HM Service and supposed to be now in Jersey' - but his father was reputed to be Daniel Wilkins. No dob given. Charles seems always to have used both surnames, with a preference for Wilkins. A few years afterwards Daniel and Mary started having 'legitimate' children. Is this the same Mary, and did she divorce her soldier husband (or perhaps he died) and marry Daniel? Assume this is so.

Annie HENLY wrote a poem called 'The Practice' in 1884, describing the Hilmarton choir practising for the concert to be held in April (personal communication, Frances Lewis).  Jim WILKINS is mentioned as a tenor from whom 'little is heard' but apparently he was a newcomer to the choir and Annie thought he would sing louder when he had been more often.  Tom RUMMING is also in the choir, a bass singer, not such a 'whopping great chap' as his father.
