A Sir Henry Tey was executor to her husband's will in 1499. A Sir Henry had inherited from a Sir John Tey of Brightwell in Essex, who had died 1462.[1] Henry had been 7 at the death of his father.[2] So Jane appears to be the sister of this Henry.[3]

Also a will of the Fincham's of Fincham mentions describes Jane as alive in 1517, by then remarried as still alive. Her second husband remarried so she died long before he did in 1533.[4]
