Rachel Lant appears to be the widow of John Timothy Lant (m.1858 Sep Qtr; d.12 Mar 1861 Hethersett) having been previously m. 849 Jun Qtr to Frederick Crane; William Lant senior I believe to be her father whose name should be Wright, while William Lant was born a Crane. John Lant (deceased) would appear to be the son of Joseph Lant miller in Tibenham in 1851, and he, or his father also Joseph, is mentioned in your pages under Forncett. Rachel doesn't seem to have married again as the Rachel Lant d. 1924 Nov Qtr age 92 is probably her. |
