Re: Victorian sightings
This particular Jubilia was born in 1846. No idea if that has any religious significance!

I don't know either! There seems to be a Catholic tradition of celebrating jubilee years at about 25-year intervals, but that would rule out little Jubilia ... unless instead of being part of Catholic Yorkshire she belonged instead to a Chapel family such that the celebration would have been at 25-year intervals from the establishment of the particular chapel. Or perhaps her family just felt very jubilant at her arrival.I've got no idea if the more mainstream Protestant churches go in for jubilees - Anglicans, Methodists etc. Wouldn't put it past them.

I am guessing it does... either to Jubal or Jubilee. Both lovely names, btw.
