The Family of Susannah Lane formerly Diss (1816 – 1854)

I am very grateful to Andy Diss for most of the information on this page.

Susannah Diss was born June 1816 and baptised 4 August 1816 at Horseheath, a daughter of Thomas Diss and Elizabeth formerly Halls.

She had a daughter, Jane, by William, who was of the parish of Abington (could this have been William Cutter?), who was baptised 6 May 1838 at Carlton (singlewoman, of Carlton).

 

She married John Lane 24 October 1840 at Carlton, after banns.  They were both of full age.  John was a labourer of Carleton Green (father's name blank) and Susan was a spinster of Carleton Green, a daughter of Thomas Diss, a labourer.  The witnesses were Henry Crosby and Fuller Mansfield.

 

In the census of 1841, of Carlton Green, next door but 2 to Thomas and Elizabeth, John Lane was aged 25, an agricultural labourer, Susan Lane was aged 25 and there was also Jane Lane aged 3 and Hannah Lane aged 60.

 

In the census of 1851, at Carlton Green, next to Elizabeth Diss, widow and on the other side to Mary Halls, John was aged 39, an agricultural labourer, born at Carlton.  Susan was aged 35, a school mistress born at Horseheath, and their children were Jane Diss, John's daughter in law, aged 12, born at Carlton, Emma Lane aged 7 and born at Horseheath, Henry Lane aged 6 and Alfred Lane aged 3, both born at Carlton.

 

At Carlton (of Carlton Green) there are burials of John Lacie (29 March 1854, aged 43) and Susan Lacie (5 March 1854 aged 36) - transcriptions, Carlton web site.  There are no other occurrences of the name in the transcribed censuses and registers.  John and Susan Lane disappear from Carlton after the census of 1851, and the children are with grandmother Elizabeth Diss in 1861.  In the Free BMD site is the death of John Lane in the March quarter of 1854 in the Linton district.  Furthermore in the Camdex index are the deaths of John Lane aged 46 (331/BAL/3/343) and Susan Lane aged 36 (331/BAL/3/335) in 1854 and the order of these Lane deaths is the same as the order of the Lacie burials.  These are very probably transcription errors of Lacie for Lane.

 

Susan's child was

Jane Diss, baptised 6 May 1838 at Carlton (singlewoman, of Carlton, by William, who was of the parish of Abington - could this have been William Cutter?).

Susan and John's children were
