• Married Name: As of 28 November 1861, her married name was Brown.
• Anecdote*: John and Jane's son Arthur John George Brown was born in Britannia Street, Ashby, a suburb of Geelong. The informant was Anne Gunn, Jane's mother which shows that her parents were also living in Geelong. Ashby was once a suburb of Geelong located in the area of Geelong West, west of Latrobe Terrace, between Aberdeen Street and Church Street. By 1850 this area had become known as Little Scotland, and Kildare. At this point, Ashby referred to the area between Autumn Street and Waratah Street. Interestingly, Britannia St intersects Pakington St which is mentioned as the place of death of Isabella McMillan on her death certificate in 1877 (Isabella's daughter Margaret married John Hone Brown). Also intersecting Pakington St is Maitland St, residence of Thomas Bervin Brown when he died in 1853 (Thomas was brother to William Brown who married Hannah Hone). It looks like the Browns and their extended family were well established in Ashby and is probably where they settled after moving from Tasmania c1846.
• Anecdote*: Note that there is a death index entry for a Jane Gunn in 1866, but the husband is William Brown and the mother's name is not correct - this is not our Jane Gunn. Other references to William Brown and Jane Gunn have been found confirming that they did exist.
