Anyone with links to Rebecca Jane Dennis b 1826/27 Tavistock. Also known as Janie. Married 23.9.1851 in Tavistock to John Vosper.
Rebecca's parents probably Richard Dennis b 1799 d 1889, and a Rebecca Glubb (?) b appx 1796/8 died 12.12.1840

Siblings unknown, but definitely some sisters, possible other family links to Doble, Whitby surnames

My g.grandmother (maternal side) was daughter of Rebecca and John Vosper - emigrated to Australia late 1800's.
