  • Birth*: Jane Alce was born circa 1690 at Sussex, England.
  • She was the daughter of Thomas Alce and Susanna Glidd.
  • Anecdote*: Jane Alce is a speculated as a child of Thomas Alce and Susannah Glidd although no baptism has been found. The reason is that there are a number of Blatchington manorial record entries recording a Jane Alce spinster and a Robert Bean as the homage (1735-1763). There is one in particular linking Jane to a blacksmith's shop in East Blatchington, which is consistent with her proposed father, Thomas Alce, who was a blacksmith there:
