Presumably this is the same Jane Yates,widow, who died aged 87 years in 1900 in Calumet. Called daughter of John Prideaux & Mary Ann Rogges. One suspects the informant was wrong about her parents, given the name of her father in her marriage record, coupled with the fact that there is no record of a marriage of John Prideaux and Mary Ann Rogges, and no birth/christening record of a Jane Prideaux daughter of John and Mary born between 1810 and 1815 in England.
