Jane is the subject of the The Hinksmans in Suffolk story and the How did Jane Hinksman (1809–1840) end up in Suffolk? open question.

Jane was baptised on 30 Apr, 1809 at St Leonard-at-the-Hythe Church in Colchester St. Leonard, Essex, England^a1, the daughter of William Hinksman (?–1820)★ and Jane Fisher★. She is Ian's 4x great grandmother.

At the age of twenty-four, Jane had a son, Richard Hinksman★, who was probably born in 1833 in the parish of Beccles in Suffolk, England:–

• Richard★, merchant seaman, married Mary Ann Spencer★ on 15 Feb, 1855 at Christ Church in Tynemouth, Northumberland, England^b1. He died on 15 Dec, 1911 at Tynemouth Union Workhouse Infirmary in Tynemouth, Northumberland, England^b2 at the age of seventy-eight.

Two years later, she gave birth to a daughter, Mary Hinksman, on 12 Jul, 1835 at The Union Workhouse in Shipmeadow, Suffolk, England^c1:–

• Mary died age thirteen. Was born on 12 Jul, 1835 at The Union Workhouse, Shipmeadow^c1 and died there on 16 Jun, 1849^b3.

She married William Rouse (1811–?), a labourer, on 8 Jul, 1839 at All Saints Church in Earsham, Norfolk, England^d1,b4.

Jane died at the age of thirty-one on 12 Jul, 1840 in the parish of Geldeston in Norfolk, England^b5. Her death was attributed to "dropsy" (a swelling caused by accumulation of abnormally large amounts of fluid often caused by kidney disease or congestive heart failure)^b5.

She was buried four days later in Geldeston^e1
