I've been searching, with no success, for the birth of Jane Delaney. She was born in 1887/8 in Ebbw Vale and she appears on the 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses. In 1891 she's in Ebbw Vale with these people:

James Lawlor, head, born Cork 1837
Catherine, wife, born 1845 Limerick
Patrick, son, born 1872 Sirhowy, Wales
Catherine, daughter, born 1875, Ebbw Vale
JANE DELANEY, born 1888 Ebbw Vale, granddaughter

In 1901 she's with the same family in Ebbw Vale but also in the house are:
Catherine Sullivan (married daughter now)
Eugene Sullivan, grandson.

Jane married Harry Meyrick in Bedwellty district in 1906. She died in 1959 and is buried in the cemetery in Ebbw Vale but the headstone only records her date of death.

As she is Delaney, different from the others in the household, it's possible she's the daughter of a Lawlor who married a Delaney but records in Ireland are very patchy and I can't find a likely marriage.

Can anyone suggest anything else, please?
