Early life

Lady Jane was born Lady Jane Seymour, the sixth child and third daughter of Sir Arthur Seymour, The Earl of Salem and his wife Lady Jane Seymour, The Countess of Salem. Jane was named in honor of her mother, who was also the Mistress of the Household to Princess Mary Caranarvon.

Jane's father was created the first Duke of Salem by The Regent, thanks the the efforts of Princess Mary Carnarvon who wished for Jane's mother to become the new Mistress of the Robes.

Marriage

Jane married Sir Abraham Whaley, The Baron of Westfield. Abraham was the only child of Sir Cohen Whaley, The Baron of Westfield and his wife The Lady Catherine Whaley, The Baroness of Westfield. Through his mother, The 2nd Baron of Westfield was the cousin to: The Lady Anna Beaufort, The Duchess of Beverly; Sir Oscar Mortimer, The Duke of Dorchester; Lady Barbra Gore; Lady Camila Gore; Lady Olivia Gore; and Sir Edward Gore.

Abraham had also been appointed, at a young age, to the household of King Henry II, as a Lord of the Bedchamber.

Their wedding was the event of the season. It was attended by: The Viscount of Dudley, The Viscountess of Dudley, The Duke and Duchess of Salem, The Duchess of Worcester representing the Royal family, the Duchess of Easthampton, The Duke and Duchess of Beverly, The Duke of Chelsea, Lady Barbra Lascelles, The Duke of Dorchester, The Dowager Duchess of Dorchester, Lord Richard Gore, Sir Brandon Seymour, and many more.

The wedding party included four bridesmaids: Lady Barbra Lascelles; The Lady Nora Seymour; The Lady Richard Gore; Lady Olivia Gore. One Groomsmen: Sir Jonathan Lascelles (dear friend of Abraham), and two Honorable Pages: Lady Elizabeth Villers and The Viscount of Dudley.

The Duchess of Beverly almost didn't attend the wedding, because of the bride's refusal to allow The Duke of Dorchester (the Duchess's brother) to attend the wedding. Jane often called the Duke "the vilest and most ignorant p men in creation", but she eventually relented and allowed the Duke to come.

The couple soon became pregnant shortly after their wedding, and Jane gave birth to twin daughters: Layla Whaley and Elisa Whaley.

The couple are currently expecting their third child.
