Research Note

A Warren Janes, son of Warren and Frances Jane was christened 29 Oct 1684 at Hewelsfield, Gloucestershire, England. This is too early to be this Warren, but is possibly his father.

The Will of Warren Jane , the elder, of Brockwere in Hewelsfield, gent, 1691, exists in the Gloucestershire Archives. ^[7]

   Hertford, Dec. 20. Yesterday morning, about one o'clock, a most dreadful fire broke out in a large slack of bark, situated on the side of the Cattle-hill, near Powell's wharf in this city. It was occasioned by the carelessness of some people employed in shaving the bark, who having made a fire the day before in a place adjoining to it, neglected to put it out. The damage sustained by Mr Warren Jane, merchant, in Cheopstow, on this melancholy occasion, upon a moderate computation, amounts to upwards of 6oo£.
