Jane was born seventh of their eight children ; she had six brothers named James ,George ,Henry, Francis , and her Elder sister  named Cassandra . As Jane grew up she was very fond of her sister Cassandra.

Cassandra was an amateur watercolorist , who created two of Jane’s  portraits . Like Jane , she to never married and the two sisters lived together all their lives . When they were not together they wrote extensively to each other and more than one hundred letters have been found

Jane Austen and her sister Cassandra had studied in a ladies boarding school in 1785 held in the gatehouse of the Abbey Reading , Berkshire , But they were brought back in the year 1786 mainly because of financial constraints .
