Interesting, Erika - I had thought this 1905 birth for Jesse, as being nearer Eleanor's age - also with mms Griffiths:

In fact, I think it's the same family as your 1939 record.

BENT, JESSE mms GRIFFITHS
GRO Reference: 1905 D Quarter in OF LEIGH Volume 08C Page 255

(That's on GRO as a male birth)


Jesse Bent
in the Wigan, England, Church of England Baptisms, 1813-1911
Name: Jesse Bent
Birth Date: 29 Nov 1905
Baptism Date: 14 Jan 1906
Baptism Place: Lowton, St Mary, Lancashire, England
Parish as it Appears: Lowton, St Mary
Father: Joseph Bent
Mother: Eliza Jane Bent

But this may be his death in infancy, although spelled Jessie, and listed as a female death on GRO:

Deaths Mar 1906 (>99%)
Bent Jessie 0 Leigh 8c 154


In 1910 the parents had a daughter whom they named Jessie:

It looks as if the daughter Jessie also died young:

Deaths Sep 1911 (>99%)

And then they went on to have son Jesse 1917.

According to records Eleanor would be 45 when married so I don’t think there would be any children

1911 census clearly states that Solomon and his wife have had TWELVE children - of whom four have died

My money is on Emma for the mother

Eleanor's death in 1983 also posted above.

Apparently she had no children.

According to Lancashire b.m.d there is an Eleanor Derbyshire born 1906 in Leigh. Mothers maiden name listed as Derbyshire so may not have been married.
