Records of the Gilbert family in Cornwall

I'm trying to find out more about the family of my great-great-great-grandmother, Jane Gilbert, born in Torpoint, Cornwall. She married George Brooks of Lymington, Hampshire around 1849.
- in the 1881 census her age is given as 59 (birth year approx 1822)
- in the 1871 census her age is given as 40 (birth year approx 1831)
Please mail Nicky if you have any more information.
