Her father, someone she loved dearly, was a normal working and poorish clergyman with a large family and never described as handsome.
(my bolding)

On the contrary, Jane's niece Anna wrote that Jane's father "…was considered extremely handsome, and it was a beauty which stood by him all his life." In addition, he was called called "the handsome proctor" while at Oxford. (These can be easily googled.)
