Death "1923 ?"

Additional Information

Birth She was given an age of 4 in the 1851 census and place of birth as Beverley Parks, then an age of 28 in the 1881.This would give dates of birth respectively as ca. 1847 and ca. 1853. However, in the 1901 census her age is given as 48.

An erroneous search of the St. Catherines index of births in 1844 and 1845 and the 1st quarter of 1846 does not reveal any Jane Elizabeth Wood born in Beverley Parks or anywhere else in Yorkshire other than one born in Knaresborough (vol. XXXIII page 420) so is this the on?. Need to search ca. 1852.
