Jane Doyle's 1860 U.K. Death Record

Jane Doyle is the oldest child of William and Martha (Reay) Doyle.  She is my paternal great-great-grandfather Andrew Doyle's sister.  She was born before October 1, 1826, the date she was baptized at St. Peter's Church, Walls End (Wallsend), Northumberland, England.  I find her in the 1841 and 1851 U.K. Census records, ages listed as 15 and 25, respectively.  Her age in this document, 32, seems a little off, but then the dates of census records vary so it's hard to tell for sure.  As far as I can tell, Jane never married.

This is a transcription of the record.

Comments 

• Had Jane lived in our day she would likely have lived after being given antibiotics for her typhoid fever.
• William Doyle is accurately named as Jane’s father, as evidenced by other documents.  
• The informant was Thomas Richardson, Jane's mother’s second husband and Jane’s step-father.
