Possibly Jane's death - though without an age being given, it's impossible to know:

And possibly John's - though there were a number of Disley's in the area at the time, and no age given:

Please note -
as I said , there were a number of Disleys in the area at that time, so this child below may not be John's brother.
But IF he is, his mother's name was Margery:
