Sorry, post cancelled. Didn't use my brain before typing. (Shaddap Tom Jones - I know it's not unusual.)

Hi Belinda,
Yes, there are a few Janes in my phone book, so it may be worth checking out.
Love,

Belinda, Caz,
The only Mary Jane of a similar age I can find at present is a Mary Anne Jane who's marriage is registered in March 1881 to either Francis Hughes or John James Oskins in Pontypridd, Wales.
Will keep looking though.

Hi all
Similarly, I suppose it's possible that the graffito (whenever it was written) could have been about a family called Jew, as this was a surname of that time.

Or a family called Juwes even. |

Hi Sarah
I looked for "Juwe" and "Juw" in the '81 census but couldn't find any.
I think I once saw a family called Apron or Aprons, which made me wonder if there was a Levi Apron in the area!

But there must have been a family called Jewson, they are a fairly large builders' merchants. Also there was a company in Arnold, Notts who went under the name of Henry Jew.

Mark,
Maybe they had done some shoddy building work for Jack and this was his way of complaining.
