Yes John, you are right, she was still born acording to the data I have on Computer (LOST all my paper records some while ago). I got the names from The Jackson Papers; papers prepared by a Jackson in the late 19th century in respect of his claim to the Coningsby Estates. ff 36 page 51 a Coningsby Pedigree.
These papers of which I HAD a copy were papers held by Hereford Archives in connection with papers prepared by a Jackson in the late 19 th century in respect of his claim to the Coningsby Estates.
Unfortunatly someone elsec will have to purchase a copy of the not insubstantial set of papers as I am now unable to purchase the copies required.
Robin do you have a source for the name Frances? Everything I have seen suggests that this daughter may have been stillborn and definitely isn't named.
