Happy 101st birthday to Jane Ann Lee Gould
Lovely Jane was born on January 19 1920 at George Street in Plymouth, Montserrat.
Her mom was Amelia Lambert, also known as “Tooksie”, and her father was Ben Lee. Ben left Montserrat to seek fortune in the Dominican Republic and never returned.
His parents, Jane’s grandparents, always told Jane he would come back and gave her a picture of him (which Tooksie subsequently destroyed years after in a fit of frustration), so Jane knew no father.
Jane was the first of Tooksie’s eight children and she was assigned the task of looking after her siblings, who are all now deceased.
