On 22 January 1884 she marries Alexander Tough and they proceed to have at least their first three children in Sunderland. By the time of the birth of Alexander Tough, their fourth known child, in approximately 1894 they live in Durban, South Africa. By the time of the birth of their fifth child, Jane, in approximately 1896 they have returned to Sunderland.

In 1907 they emigrate to America where they stayed and brought up their family. Alexander and their eldest son, Jas William, land first on 26 March 1907. Alexander is listed as a 44-year-old Bricklayer. He was able to read and write and was headed for Providence, Rhode Island. He brought $79 dollars with them and they were going to stay with his friend, William Brown of 396 Eddy Street, Providence, Rhode Island. The manifest records that he had visited the US previously in 1906, staying in New Bretton. The manifest records Alexander as having a fair complexion, fair hair and blue eyes.

Jane and their six other children land six months later on 8 October 1907. They are on the 'Luciania' headed for the Immigration Centre on Ellis Island, New York. On the manifest of the 'Luciania', she records that she is going to stay with her husband, Alex Tough, of 412 S Avenue, Rochester. Unfortunately, this is not very clear to read. She is listed as being 5ft 4in, with brown hair and no distinguishing marks.

I do not know too much about what happened to the family after they landed in the US other than Alexander died in 1939 and Jane died in 1942. Both are buried in Mount Hope Cemetary, Rochester, New York.
