Jane Eliza Burgar was born in 1859 and was the third child of Edwin Burgar (1827-1871). She settled down with Thomas Grant. We are not sure how many children they had, but there are three shown in this Census. We suspect that Edith Grant aged 2 years may have been the daughter of Rose Grant and therefore the grand-daughter of Thomas and Jane Grant.

Also living with them was their nephew Horace Burgar, who was the son of Kathrine Martha Burgar (born 1872). She was in Domestic Service at the time of the birth of her child Horace and also at the time of this Census.
