That looks much more likely.
Yes, there's a brother Thomas, born 1847 son of William (b 1806) and Sarah (b 1811) according to my current information but I've not got any formal confirmation of that. And Janes family had lived in Twineham although I'm fairly sure that by the time of her birth they'd moved to Hurstpierpoint, but both are in the Cuckfield district.
I'll pencil it in.

Can we now find her in 1891?

The 1851 census is my source.

Incidentally British History Online has info about West Grinstead including the Green Man Inn at Jolesfield common.

Further to that the pub's still there and can be viewed on Streetscene.

If no one can find Jane in 1891 this can be archived.
