Cocerning the Susanne Bierton/Amos JANES descendants. I have traced my own particular line of the JANES family back to Levi JANES (b.1816) married to Mary Ann Heles/Heales in 1836 and in the 1851 Census having three children, William (age 7 – my great grandfather), James (age 4) and Jabez (age 8m.). An interesting article concerning the Bierton and Janes families appeared in the Leighton Buzzard Observer on 24 March 1863 which reads as follows: “A report regarding the case of James JANES, a labourer, of Edlesborough, who was charged on the 11th of March 1863. The complainant had been nursing the prisoner’s wife and he on several occasions had made improper overtures to her; eventually when she left he followed her and because she refused to go back he threatened her with a pistol which he had loaded. The defendant was 52 years and the complainant was 17. He made no reply to the charge and was committed for three calendar months, in default of finding sureties”. The defendant lived in Edlesborough. Could this Jane Bierton (b.1846) be related to the above mentioned Susanne Bierton?
