BMDB data

Jane Dawe was born on 26 Apr 1833 Newton Mill, Tavistock, DEV, ENG.¹ She was christened Ang. Ch, Tavistock, DEV, ENG

.¹
Jane Dawe was assumed to have died aft. 1847 ?Lumburn, Dist of Tavistock, DEV, ENG, as she is mentioned in the will her father wrote in Nov 1847.
There's a Jane, aged 17, of Milehouse, d. 7th, bur. 9th Nov 1850.^2,3

Given Jane was still alive in 1847 she must be findable. Attempts so far have not proved successful. A 1848 marriage to William Masters looked promising, but that Jane was the dtr of a Joseph and seems to have come from Stoke Climsland. Subsequent likely matches in 1851 have all proved to be different Jane's - ELliott, Cock, Nicholls were all married to Jane someone other than Dawe even if the Jane was born Lamerton or Tavistock in the right timeframe. There are a few more to check through yet.
Another eliminated - the Jane at least one tree has as married to John DIBBLE - her father was a Samuel.^4,5,6
