Jane Calvert
1768 – 1827
✓ Validated against records · 2026-07-09
Jane Calvert married William Verity at Kettlewell on the first of December 1790 — a daughter of the parish, of the Calverts of Upper Wharfedale, and (as Mum's research records) a daughter of Abraham Calvert. Both she and William signed the register in their own hands.
She bore the six Verity children of the dale between 1791 and 1810, and outlived her husband by two years. When she was buried at Baildon in 1827 the register set her down as “the wife of the late William Verity, Abode Idle” — the family come down, by then, from Kettlewell to the edge of Bradford. The Calverts are a line of their own, for a later pass.

The Calvert line
Research · a wife-line for a later pass
Mum's research records Jane as a daughter of Abraham Calvert of Kettlewell (the 1790 marriage register itself names only the witnesses) — the start of a Calvert line of Upper Wharfedale, a pass of its own. To do there: Jane's own baptism, and Abraham Calvert's family, in the Kettlewell registers.
