Jane Foulkes (1778–1840)

Birthplace and parents remain unsettled: reported Wales, with an exact-date Liverpool baptism candidate still unproved. Died at Ballyduhig, Lixnaw, Co. Kerry.

Best Evidence

1. Proven

   Jane is named as Thomas McKenna's wife in the family-history tradition and on the Kilshenane / Kilsinan grave evidence, with death date 7 December 1840.

2. Possible

   The St Peter, Liverpool baptism for Jane Foulkes, born 11 February 1778 and baptized 22 February 1778, exactly matches the inherited birth date, but Liverpool is not confirmed for Thomas McKenna's wife.

3. Possible

   The Llanrhos / St Hilary records may identify Jane's wider Foulkes family, especially if Mary Foulkes (1781) is a sibling or same-family cousin.

4. Adverse

   The Boughrood / Francis Fowke daughter named Jane is adverse as a person-level match because of the Carmarthen Robert Roberts lane and the lack of a primary McKenna bridge. It is not closed solely by probate omission.

5. Control

   The official NAI diocesan-wills index has Jane Fowke, Cloyne/Cork, event/probate year 1796. The crop reads Fowke | Jane | 1796, but no residence, spouse, McKenna/Kenna bridge, Kerry/Thurles/Ballyduhig link, or 1840-death link is given.

6. Negative

   Foulkesmill, Foulksrath, and Foulkscourt have all been ruled out as Foulkes-family seats.

7. Open

   The "captain of the Yeos" story is independently preserved, but no primary record yet identifies Jane's father as an Irish Yeomanry captain.

Evidence Log

Exact-date Liverpool baptism candidate

A May 2026 user-supplied parish-register transcript gives a St Peter, Liverpool baptism for Jane Foulkes, daughter of Thomas Foulkes, born 11 February 1778 and baptized 22 February 1778. The abode is Argyle Street, and the note gives Thomas's occupation as shipwright. LAN-OPC independently transcribes the same Liverpool St Peter entry as page 13, entry 33.

This remains a useful Jane-specific baptism candidate because the birth date exactly matches the existing Jane Foulkes date. It is still not proof: Liverpool is not confirmed, the place conflicts with the Geneanet "Wales" birthplace, and the transcript does not name Jane's mother. If this is our Jane, the "Wales" field may be wrong, generalized from family origin, or a later memory of a Welsh-border Foulkes family.

Welsh and Llanrhos leads

The Geneanet profile records Jane's birthplace only as "Wales" — no county or parish. Earlier geography pointed to north Wales between Chester and Shrewsbury. The Llanrhos / St Hilary lead remains important because it places a Thomas + Anne Foulkes household in the Conwy / Llandudno side of Caernarfonshire in 1781, but after the Liverpool find it is best treated as a possible sibling or same-family cluster rather than Jane's strongest baptism candidate.

Possible sibling lead — Mary Foulkes, 1781

A May 2026 user-supplied parish-register transcript gives Mary Foulkes, daughter of Thomas and Anne Foulkes, baptized at St Hilary, Llan-rhos, Caernarfonshire, on 25 December 1781. A likely matching St Hilary marriage index entry has Thomas Foulkes of Llanrhos marrying Anne Thomas on 31 July 1780. This is a serious north-Wales family-cluster lead for Jane, but not proof: Jane's reported 11 February 1778 birth predates that marriage, and the exact-date Liverpool baptism may already be Jane herself.

Tested negative — Boughrood Jane Fowke

A May 2026 follow-up tested whether the unidentified Jane Fowke in the Francis Fowke / Boughrood Castle family could be Jane Foulkes McKenna. On present evidence, she should not be merged with Jane. The visible Boughrood/compiled lane attaches Jane to Francis Fowke of Boughrood / Benares and sends her into a Robert Roberts marriage at Carmarthen in 1826. A 1 June 2026 check found independent Carmarthen child-household support for that Roberts lane: the 1828/1831 Llangunnor baptisms name children of Robert and Jane Roberts of Carmarthen, a 29 July 1831 Welsh Newspapers / NLW IIIF article identifies Robert Roberts as a Carmarthen linen-draper, and an 1843 Welsh Newspapers death notice identifies Jane Mary Roberts as daughter of the late Robert Roberts, draper, Carmarthen. That is adverse to any simple merge with Thomas McKenna's wife. The exact-date Liverpool baptism remains a separate candidate, not a confirmed birth record for the Kerry Jane. Neither lane is a proved father bridge.

This weakens the person-level Boughrood bridge, but does not close the wider Fowke / Ormathwaite archive route. Treat it as an adverse lane unless a primary document later links a Jane or Mary Fowke/Foulkes to Thomas McKenna, Kerry, Liverpool, Shrewsbury, or the Boughrood/D546 family. Working notes: raw/boughrood-jane-fowke-test-2026-05-28.md, raw/evidence/carmarthen-robert-roberts-jane-mary-roberts-conflict-2026-06-01.md, and raw/evidence/carmarthen-robert-roberts-linen-draper-1831-control-2026-06-01.md.

A separate 1 June 2026 Royal Collection image check confirms that Francis Fowke really does fit the "captain" control lane: the 1799 Wimbledon Common review plan, RCIN 735077.b, lists 7. WIMBLEDON ... Capt Fra.s Fowke in the Volunteer Cavalry list. This is primary evidence for Francis as a Wimbledon volunteer-cavalry captain, but it does not connect him to Jane/Mary Fowke/Foulkes McKenna or overcome the Robert Roberts conflict. Working note: raw/evidence/royalcollection-rcin-735077b-wimbledon-captain-fowke-iiif-proof-2026-06-01.md.

The saved Francis Fowke probate-preview pass adds another adverse layer. TNA preview images for Francis Fowke senior, PROB 11/1623/139, visibly operate in a Mary-Lowe/natural-child provision framework, and the Francis Fowke junior of Boughrood preview, PROB 11/1713/59, visibly aligns with the known Boughrood heir cluster. The second visual pass did not surface Jane/Jennie/Joanna, Mary in a Thomas McKenna wife context, McKenna/Kenna/Gna/Gnaw/Guinaw, Robert Roberts, or Carmarthen. This is adverse to a simple Francis-Fowke-to-Jane-McKenna merge, but not a final legal exclusion because the previews are watermarked and not full transcriptions. Working notes: raw/evidence/tna-prob-11-1623-139-francis-fowke-preview-access-note-2026-05-30.md, raw/evidence/tna-prob-11-1713-59-francis-fowke-junior-preview-access-note-2026-05-30.md, and raw/evidence/francis-fowke-prob-11-preview-second-visual-pass-2026-05-31.md.

The Green/Boughrood paper route is now concrete. NLW GB 0210 EIHAGREEN/1, VTLS 003844092, is File 1 of the Eileen and Harry Green Papers for The Fowkes of Boughrood Castle; the exposed catalogue layer describes photographs, transcripts, original correspondence, documents dated 1831-1918, and mostly 1830s Fowke family letters. Coflein / RCAHMW also preserves archive record 6069737 for the 1973 Green booklet. This is definite source-route evidence for the next archive request, but it is not parentage proof and the file contents remain unread. Working notes: raw/evidence/d546-green-officer-list-route-recheck-2026-05-31.md, raw/evidence/nlw-eihagreen-file1-fowkes-boughrood-web-open-2026-05-31.md, and raw/evidence/coflein-green-fowkes-boughrood-booklet-6069737.html.

The settlement/release lane is also concrete but still not a bridge. Powys B/D/JPO/21/3 points to Eliza Fowke's 1834 marriage settlement and recites entitlements under the wills of Francis Fowke senior and junior. TNA C 13/980/34, Bell v Walsh, is an 1832 Chancery bill-and-answer route in the Boughrood/Walsh estate dispute. Herefordshire/TNA A95/ET/146 is a release-and-indemnity route under Francis Fowke will trusts involving Rev. D. Williams and Mary his wife. These are the right record classes for testing a cut-out, prior-provision, or omission theory, but the accessible catalogue layers do not name Jane/Mary as Thomas McKenna's wife, McKenna/Kenna/Gna variants, Robert Roberts, Carmarthen, Kerry, Ballyduhig, or Kilshenane. Working note: raw/evidence/francis-fowke-settlement-release-route-status-2026-06-01.md.

A 1 June 2026 Royal Museums Greenwich check also tested the stronger family-memory phrase that Mary/Jane Folkes was daughter of the commander of the English fleet. RMG's Fowke family papers catalogue confirms a real naval Fowke family lane, including Edmund Thorpe Fowke, Royal Navy captain and later rear-admiral, and George Fowke, who became commander in 1795 and captain in 1798. It does not name Jane, Mary, Thomas McKenna, Kerry, south Tipperary, Boughrood, or D546; George is also too young to be Jane's father if her late-1770s birth date is broadly right. Treat this as a naval wording control, not a parentage proof. Working note: raw/evidence/rmg-fowke-naval-family-papers-control-2026-06-01.md.

A separate 1 June 2026 open War Office list pass adds another caution around the "captain" wording. The 1797 Google Books militia/yeomanry control list names Thomas Foulkes as a Denbighshire Militia lieutenant, not a captain, and names John Powell Foulkes as the Denbighshire Militia captain. Later 1809, 1820, and 1825 lists carry John Powell Foulkes forward as major and lieutenant-colonel, while Thomas no longer appears. This is real Welsh military-context evidence, but it is not an Irish Yeomanry captain bridge and does not name Jane, Mary, Thomas McKenna, Kerry, Boughrood, or D546. Working note: raw/evidence/googlebooks-war-office-militia-yeomanry-foulkes-control-pass-2026-06-01.md.

The older Brewood/Munster lane is now useful context, not a solved ancestry. Saved evidence links the D546/Boughrood Fowke world to a Brewood identity, while the south-Tipperary / Clonmel / Youghal Foulke-Fowke lane has older Brewood/Gouston/Gunston signals through the 1898 Notes and Queries Digby Foulke item and NLI GO MS 45 access route. This may explain why Roche's south-Tipperary Foulkes tradition sits near the D546/Ormathwaite question, but no saved source in that lane names Jane/Mary Foulkes McKenna, Thomas McKenna, Ballyduhig, Kilshenane, or a target father. Working note: raw/evidence/brewood-munster-fowke-foulkes-network-status-2026-06-01.md.

A Kerry local-surname control pass now keeps the local Fookes/Foukes/Fulkes/Folue noise separate from the D546/Boughrood problem. Saved IrishGenealogy and NAI records prove a real Kerry cluster, especially around Tralee with later Castleisland and Ballybunion controls, but exact Jane/Thomas searches and Mary/Mary Jane/Maria + Thomas McKenna spouse-variant searches do not produce Jane as Thomas McKenna's wife, a Thomas Fowke/Foulkes father, or any D546/Boughrood/Ormathwaite bridge. Working note: raw/evidence/kerry-fookes-foukes-folue-local-control-status-2026-06-01.md.

A 11 June 2026 NAI diocesan-wills sweep adds one official Irish same-name/surname control: Jane Fowke, Diocese Cloyne, District Cork, event/probate year 1796. The manuscript row crop reads Fowke | Jane | 1796. This is not proof of Jane Ffoulkes McKenna because it gives no residence, spouse, McKenna/Kenna/Gna bridge, Kerry/Thurles/Ballyduhig link, or 1840-death link, but it should be kept as a documented Irish Fowke control. Note and image bundle: raw/evidence/nai-dw-jane-fowke-cloyne-cork-1796-control-2026-06-11.html.

From Wales to Kerry

Jane is reported as born in Wales in 1778, but her birthplace is not proved. She died in 1840 at Ballyduhig, a townland in the Lixnaw / Listowel area of north Co. Kerry — the same place where her husband Thomas McKenna died in 1835. How she came to be in Kerry, and where she met Thomas (himself originally from Co. Monaghan), is an open question.

The family oral history preserved by Donald James McKenna (b. 1953) refers to Jane as "Lady Jane who was the daughter of the English Captain". This tradition has now received independent external corroboration from a 1998 Irish Times column by Richard Roche (see raw/irish-times-richard-roche-1998-brave-united-irishman.md), whose informants — descendants in a different branch of the family — described Jane Foulkes as "the daughter of the captain of the Yeos", i.e. an Irish Yeomanry captain. The Yeomanry was a Crown paramilitary militia raised from 1796, officered by local gentry, many of them loyalist Protestants. A Yeomanry-captain father eloping-daughter story with a wanted 1798 Catholic insurgent is exactly the sort of episode a family would preserve; whether it is historically accurate is another matter. Roche's column also complicates the geography: it places the Foulkeses it discusses in the Clonmel / Piltown (Co. Kilkenny) area, as a Cromwellian-origin family, with a Simon Foulkes sitting on the March 1766 Clonmel jury that hanged Fr Nicholas Sheehy. That is a different family cluster from the Wales-born Jane in Peter Terren's Geneanet tree, where the reported father Thomas Foulkes died at Shrewsbury in 1816. Either the Tipperary Foulkeses and the Welsh-border Foulkeses are a single extended family, or Peter Terren has the wrong parentage for our Jane. Full discussion on the 1798 Wexford Rising claim page. Direct verification of the "captain of the Yeos" claim is now partly bounded by regular-army and open-list negatives; the strongest remaining tests are the Listowel Yeomanry account book, Feale Cavalry account book, FamilySearch/Armagh DGS 7242463 for the 1797 Dublin Castle district-corps alphabetical index, and original militia/yeomanry commission records.

New Ormathwaite surname-network lead: the Benn-Walsh landlord family behind Ballyduhig was originally Benn; the Walsh name came through inheritance from John Walsh to Margaret Benn, nee Fowke. This does not prove a Jane Foulkes link — Fowke and Foulkes cannot be collapsed without evidence — but it creates a live bridge hypothesis because Jane's Welsh/Welsh-border identity, the Liverpool shipwright baptism candidate, the Benn-Walsh Welsh/Radnorshire estate background, and the Ballyduhig Ormathwaite tenancy all now sit in the same research field. Working note: raw/fowke-foulkes-ormathwaite-connection-hypothesis-2026-05-27.md.

Boughrood Jane Fowke test: the person-level lead should be kept separate from the wider archive route. A secondary Beaumont Union / Boughrood account names an unidentified Jane Fowke among Francis Fowke's children, but the visible compiled lane sends that Jane to Robert Roberts of Carmarthen, not to Thomas McKenna of Kerry. On current evidence she is a negative match for Jane Foulkes McKenna.

British Library D546 check: a 27-28 May 2026 catalogue and handlist pass of Mss Eur D546 found no entries for Foulkes, Ffoulkes, Foulke, Fooks, Foulks, McKenna/Kenna variants, Ballyduhig, Kilshenane, Kerry, Liverpool, Shrewsbury, Wales/Radnor/Boughrood, or Irish/Ireland terms. It did confirm the Fowke/Benn/Walsh/Maskelyne correspondence collection, but its Jane/Thomas hits are Jane Maskelyne, Jane Wheelock, Thomas Kelsall, and Thomas Morton — not Jane Foulkes, Thomas Foulkes, or Thomas McKenna. The British Library Reference Team replied on 28 May that no more detailed description is available, so this is now a manuscript-consultation route for selected shelfmarks, not the best next proof lane. Search notes: raw/bl-mss-eur-d546-foulkes-variant-search-2026-05-27.md and raw/bl-mss-eur-d546-handlist-crawl-2026-05-28.md.

Fowke / Ormathwaite correspondence leads

These people are leads in the Fowke/Benn/Walsh network, not proved Foulkes relatives. The working question is whether the Fowke surname and Ormathwaite estate network can explain a route by which Jane Foulkes or Thomas McKenna entered the Ballyduhig tenancy world.

Do not confuse the Benares Resident Francis Fowke with the later Captain Francis Fowke, Royal Engineers (1823-1865), who really was military but belongs to a later generation outside the D546 correspondence. Working handlist: raw/bl-mss-eur-d546-handlist-crawl-2026-05-28.md.

New route clue from the Philip J. McKenna II audio: Jane's meeting with Thomas is placed at Thurles, Co. Tipperary, after Thomas flees from Wexford. In this telling, Jane gives him shelter in Thurles, the couple falls in love, elopes, and then goes west/north toward the Shannon. That makes Tipperary a specific elopement-location lead for Jane, even if her birth-family origin may still point to Liverpool / north Wales / Shrewsbury or to an unproved Irish Yeomanry branch.

Children — May 2026 expansion

Peter Terren's Geneanet tree records only one child for Thomas McKenna and Jane Foulkes: James (1810–1890). Richard Roche's 1998 Irish Times column listed four children — Thomas, Edmond, James, and Mary. As of May 2026 a user-supplied Listowel compilation (combining material from the Kennelly family site dalyskennelly2000.jimdofree.com, the listowelconnection.com blog, an Ancestry.co.uk record card, and a Gemini AI conversation) raises the total to eight, while the saved FamilySearch Patrick profile exposes a different sibling set and the user has now added Jane McKenna (1820–1892). The 26 May 2026 north-Kerry RC sweep found no direct baptism naming Thomas + Jane as parents, but it did find adult household clusters for several roster names. The working roster is therefore a research roster, not a final count:

• Patrick McKenna (1799/1802–20 May 1865) — m. Sarah M. Stack in Ireland in 1832 per the saved FamilySearch profile; Find a Grave gives birth 1802, County Kerry, death in Negaunee, Michigan, spouse Sarah Stack McKenna, and 11 linked children. Michigan line.
• Thomas McKenna (?–16 Jan 1870) — m. Elizabeth Dunn and later Annie / Ann Thornton (d. 3 May 1895). The Foynes / Donald-James-McKenna direct-line ancestor; now epigraphically confirmed by the Kilshenane stone (below) and mapped to Ballyduhig plot 10a.
• Mary McKenna (c. 1804–1867) — m. William Leahy c. 1826. Knockanure / Listowel area. Confirmed by the Kennelly chain at dalyskennelly2000.jimdofree.com.
• Edmund Patrick McKenna (c. 1805–?) — m. Ellen Stack. The Lixnaw RC parish sweep now finds nine children at Rathea / Rahea / Rathyea, 1821-1838, including Margaret Ginnagh added by the 26 May follow-up. Daughter Bridget Ellen emigrated NY via Macon GA c. 1852; son Maurice Leon emigrated 1865 to New Orleans (train engineer); daughter Ellen McKenna m. ?? Flood, d. 1924 Manhattan.
• Elizabeth McKenna / "Guinaw" (c. 1810–1859) — "Guinaw" is now read as Kerry parish-clerk orthography for McKenna, not a separate married surname.
• James McKenna (1810? / 1833?) — Geneanet's single-son entry and Roche's "James" now look like a generation-collision. The strongest record-level candidate for the Foynes / Mount Trenchard James is James Gnaw, baptized 25 May 1833 at Ballyduhig, son of Thomas Gna + Elizabeth Dunne, making him likely Jane's grandson rather than her son.
• Edmond McKenna (Roche 1998) — distinct from Edmund Patrick? Or same person?
• Gerald (Garrett) McKenna (c. 1816–?) — 26 May 2026 sweep proves a later Rathea adult branch with Mary Thornton, but not parentage.
• Jane McKenna (1820–1892) — user-supplied child addition, 13 May 2026. The sweep found a strong adult-household match: Jane Gnaw m. James Larkin in Lixnaw on 4 Feb 1841, with nine Larkin children at Rathea, 1844-1863.

Full marriages, descendant lines, US emigration trail and follow-up actions are now collected on the Listowel descendants & Kilshenane grave page. The raw 26 May sweep note is at raw/north-kerry-rc-thomas-jane-children-sweep-2026-05-26.md.

Kilshenane / Kilsinan tombstone — three generations on one stone

The same May 2026 compilation reproduces the gravestone reading from dalyskennelly2000.jimdofree.com:

GRAVE Kilsinan Lixnaw. Thomas McKenna a leader in the 1798 rebellion Tipperary, died 5 May 1835; His wife Jane Ffoulkes McKenna died 7 Dec 1840; Their son Thomas McKenna died 16 Jan 1870, his wife Annie Thornton McKenna d 3 May 1895; Their Son John McKenna died Aug. 1904; Their daughter Annie McKenna Hegarty d 31 March 1931; Her daughter Mary McKenna Hegarty d 8 Aug 1904, Son Thomas McKenna Hegarty d 21 July 1918; Elizabeth Hegarty nee Carmody d 9 July 1957 aged 57; her husband Mattie Hegarty d 24 July 1973.

Rt. Rev. J. M. Hegarty V.G. Aug 1958

For Jane this gives the death date (7 Dec 1840) already held from Geneanet but now epigraphically attested. The Tipperary rather than Wexford wording is in tension with Roche's 1998 column (which quotes the same stone as saying "Wexford") and with Bryan Mac Mahon's "Vinegar Hill" gloss. A photograph of the stone in situ is now the highest-priority on-site action — see the Listowel descendants page for the full discussion.

Foulkesmill, Foulksrath, and Foulkscourt — all ruled out as family seats

Three Irish place-names incorporating "Foulkes" have now been tested on this wiki and none is a Foulkes-family seat. All three derive from the medieval Norman Christian name Foulk / Fouk, not from a surname Foulkes landed family:

• Foulkesmill, Co Wexford — scene of the Battle of Horetown / Goff's Bridge (20 June 1798). Named for Sir Foulkes Furlong (fl. 1410), Seneschal of Bree, whose Christian name was Foulkes. Bassett's 1885 Wexford Directory records no Foulkes residents there.
• Foulksrath Castle, Co Kilkenny — 14th/15th-century tower named for Ffoulc de Purcell. By the 19th century held by the Swifte family per Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland.
• Foulkscourt, near Piltown — Irish Cúirt Phuco / Cúirt Fouk. Granted to Sir John Hely in 1697; the planned village was developed in 1770 by John Hely of Foulkscourt. Hely property throughout the 18th century — not a Foulkes seat. (This is precisely the Piltown locale Roche's 1998 column cited as a Foulkes residence.)

The Tipperary-Cromwellian identification now weakens

A focused April 2026 follow-up pass (raw/foulkes-tipperary-hypothesis-test-2026-04.md) tested Roche's specific claim that Jane belonged to the "Cromwellian-origin south-Tipperary Foulkes family" prominent since the 17th century in Clonmel and Piltown. Four convergent negatives now weigh against it:

• No Foulkes in Bassett's 1889 Book of County Tipperary Clonmel directory (same pattern as the 1885 Wexford null at Foulkesmill).
• No Foulkes estate in Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland (1899/1912), Irish Pedigrees online index (D–K and A–C), or the University of Galway's Landed Estates Database. A landed Cromwellian family prominent in Tipperary for 200 years would ordinarily appear in at least one of these.
• Foulkscourt at Piltown = Hely, as above — Roche's cited Piltown locale is not a Foulkes seat.
• Simon Foulkes is not on the detailed Clonmel petit-jury list published by the Irish Times's own Irishman's Diary (Wellington, Dawson, Mumskin, Shaw, Hoops, Ferns, Dunville, Tuthill, Going, Tennison, Duninead). He may have been on the grand jury (indicting body), which would preserve Roche's claim — but the detail is unverified against the strongest available source.

Roche's own wording was speculative — he wrote that Thomas McKenna "may have passed through south Tipperary, where a family of Cromwellian origin named Foulkes had been prominent since the 17th century." The April 2026 structural analysis already weakened that Tipperary suggestion. The May 2026 Liverpool and Llanrhos leads now shift the active Foulkes search toward an Irish Sea / north-Wales / English-border family rather than Roche's south-Tipperary hypothesis. The April 2026 structural analysis is in the hypothesis-test file; the original two-identifications framing is in the first deep-search raw file.

Open questions

• Birthplace — the exact-date Liverpool St Peter baptism is a candidate only; it conflicts with the inherited "Wales" birthplace. Pull the original image and surrounding entries before changing the factbox outright.
• Her mother's surname — still unresolved. The Liverpool baptism does not name her mother. Anne Thomas remains a live candidate from the Llanrhos 1780 marriage + 1781 Mary Foulkes baptism cluster, but may be a later wife or a separate family cluster. Anne Lloyd remains a possible earlier-generation lead from the 1748 St Chad marriage.
• When and why the family came to Ireland; whether Jane arrived with parents or later, already married.
• Does the Benn-Walsh / Fowke / Walsh archive contain any Foulkes/Ffoulkes/Foulke/Fooks reference that could explain Jane's route into the Ballyduhig tenancy network? The named Boughrood Jane Fowke is currently a negative person-level match, and the saved Francis Fowke probate previews are adverse but not legally final; NLW GB 0210 EIHAGREEN/1, TCD/Kerry estate records, unwatermarked probate, Chancery, and correspondence remain more important than a Jane Fowke identity chase.
• Does the unread 1797 Irish district-corps alphabetical index name a Fowke/Foulkes/Ffoulkes officer in the right Kerry or south-Tipperary orbit? The sharpest current access route is FamilySearch/Armagh DGS 7242463, Film 1279329 Item 25; NLI Listowel N.6491 / POS 8125 remains the exact-locality account-book test.
• Is Jane from the Welsh-border Foulkes family (Peter Terren / Geneanet) or the Tipperary-Kilkenny Cromwellian Foulkes (Roche 1998 / Sue McKenna)? After the April 2026 hypothesis-test pass the Welsh-border identification is now the stronger reading; the Tipperary suggestion appears to be Roche's 1998 conjecture rather than a documented lineage. A positive intermediate document (will, Yeomanry muster, quarter-sessions entry) would reopen it.
• Siblings? No siblings named on any Geneanet profile; nothing surfaced on the April 2026 deep-search pass.
