Hi Judith,
I have a little more on Jane (now confirmed as 1822-1885)than when I posted, but I don't know if it will help.
Her parents were William Braine and Jane Risdon, a widow whose original maiden name I still can't trace. Their address was 4 Norwich Court, which is off Fetter Lane just north of Fleet Street, London. I have no Census etc. records showing them as a family, but the IGI gives for those parents' names the following:
Jane b.7 Nov 1822
William b.15 Aug 1826
James b.23 Jun 1829
All three were christened twice: once in the parish church (St Andrew Holborn) and again in the New Jerusalemite chapel in neighbouring Blackfriars.
The elder Jane presumably died shortly after, since William Braine remarried in 1834, to Hannah Cubbage. No further children show up (yet) in any subsequent records, although Hannah was young enough for it to be possible.
In short, I haven't a "John", but it's certainly possible.
