Holyer burials at Woodchurch

Thanks to Robert Chown's indexing and Gary Samson's database, a new resource for burials at Woodchurch has been made available here. This caused me to think again about the 1872 death of Jane Holyer in the Workhouse, aged 20. I had thought, despite the age, that she was the daughter of William Holyer and Mary Ann (née Parsons) born in Warehorne in 1845. But after some investigation in the 1861 census, I found both Jane aged 8 and Jane the daughter aged 16. Maybe she might be the Sarah Jane Holyer registered in Q1 1853. I decided to order this certificate hoping it will help identify her origin.
