professional photographer, elder daughter of James Manning and Jane, née Yeldham, was born in England shortly before her family came to Western Australia in 1850. A sister of James Manning junior , in 1868-69 the youthful Miss Manning was proprietor of the Yeldham Photographic Gallery at Cantonment Road, Fremantle, while her brother was a travelling rural photographer. (Her studio was obviously named after their mother’s family and perhaps Jane senior was also involved in it.) Although she presumably worked with James Manning afterwards, Miss Manning was never again professionally listed as a photographer. Later she married William Raine; they had one daughter, born at Melbourne (Vic.) in 1888.
