Possibly
in the next household in 1841 is a Tabitha (Bethia?)Gale who could be the mother
of Stephen Gale. The writing is almost illegible and the original is very damaged.
Where is their daughter my ancestor Sarah Gale in 1841?

There were
several households and families living within 20 King Street in 1861. Here is
Jane with her sister (gt.gt grandmother) Sarah Houghton and her niece (great
grandmother) Sarah Jane Houghton later Creese. I can find no trace of Jane Gale

I wonder what happend to her?
