Jane Tipson (nee Hall) was the second daughter of William and Sarah Hall who kept the "beer shop" on Birmingham Road. Her elder sister was Emma Maria Hall who married Benjamin Manley (see
A.12) and her younger sister was Martha Hall who married Robert Keartland.
Jane was born in Stoneleigh on 28 August 1809 but not baptised until 8 September 1811, along with her brother Henry. She married Thomas Tipson, a cordwainer, on 2 April 1839 at St Michael's Coventry, as they both lived in High Street there. They had three daughters, Martha, Ann and Jane.
Jane was only 38 when she died on 1 November 1847, and was buried on 5 November. Thomas, left with three small daughters, married again in 1850, to Sarah Frost. This second marriage was also at St Michaels's Coventry. He continued to live there as a shoemaker until his death in 1893; he had four further children, with his second wife.
Jane's stone is particularly fine and has the addition of a footstone with her initials. The Biblical quotation "Waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body" is from St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, chapter 8 verse 22.
