Death Notes
Did Jane die before Henry moved to Bingley? Theres a matching burial record that could be her: Name: Jane Hudson Gender: Female Age: 62 Birth Date: 1751 Death Date: 7 Aug 1813 Death Place: Kendal, Westmoreland, England FHL Film Number: 97377 Reference ID: pg 22 #175
There's also a burial Dec 1839 at Bingley of Jane Hudson from Lady House, aged 69, but if this is correct, theres a much better age match for the marriage, but the baptism and parents are wrong. Name: Jane Hudson Where is "Lady House"? Well the "Ancient Bingley" book describes the residences: "On the Morton side of the town we find a Deer Park, Walsh Lane, Sty lane (probably stile-lane), Limefield, Greenhill, Lady House, lime works; and lower down Gilstead, Little beck, Sparable lane ..." etc. It appears that lady House is/was in Lady Lane
Perhaps the best march is below (but no age or abode given): Name: Jane Hudson Burial Date: 26 Sep 1824 Parish: Bradford, St Peter (Bradford Cathedral), Yorkshire, England
