Found in the graveyard of St. Augustines Church, Penarth, South Wales - the grave of "Janes, beloved wife of Capt. Robert Morton of St. Ives, Cornwall, died 5th November 1893, Returned to God". Nor sure whether Jane Morton is from St. Ives, or just her husband, but in case any one is searching for information on this lady.

Isabel, Good catch! The lady was Jane CLARK (1812-1893), daughter of Edward CLARK and his wife Elizabeth STEVENS. Jane was baptized at St. Ives on 19 Jun 1812. She married Robert MORTON (b.ca. 1815, Devonport, son of Robert MORTON and his wife Mary ADAMS) on 10 Dec 1839 at St. Ives. Robert and Jane had three known children, all born at St. Ives: Jane MORTON (b.ca. 1844) Mary MORTON (b.09 Oct 1846) Robert MORTON (b.01 Feb 1849) Capt. Robert MORTON, although born in Devon, had deep roots at St. Ives and neighboring parishes on his mother's side. He died at the Terrace, St. Ives on 28 May 1887, but I do not know where he was buried. His death was reported by The West Briton (Thu, 02 Jun 1887): "At The Terrace, St. Ives, May 28, Capt. Robert MORTON, aged 71." The widowed Jane was no longer at St. Ives at the 1891 Census, so it is possible that she relocated to Wales not long after her husband's death, conceivably to live with one of her children. Jane's death was registered at Cardiff during 4Q1893, with the registration showing her age at death at 80.
