So I’m trying to find information on a Henrietta Jenner born in either 1904/1905, (census from 1939 says birth 1904, death certificate says 1905).
We presume she was born in Ireland, however no one can find a birth certificate for her anywhere. She had 7?children, the eldest we cannot remember the name of, Doreen, Terry, maureen, Brian, Joyce, and was married to a John A Wildash in 1941.
We have found Doreen’s last name on birth certificate to be Jenner, whereas maureen’s is wildash, so we can only presume there was a different potential man possible for the eldest’s father and potentially Jenner is not henrietta’s maiden name.
We don’t know of any siblings of Henrietta or her parents names.
Any help would be appreciated as everything is coming to a dead end.

If Doreen was born a few years pirior to the 1941 marriage then the birth is registered in the maiden name of Jenner, the other took the fathers surname even though the parents wasnt married at the time.


getting her marriage certificate could name a father which would help.

Both 1939 Register and the death cert give the date as 31st August, even though the year differs.

Her birth would have been registered in the 3rd or 4th quarter of whatever year it was - but not necessarily either 1904 or 1905..

Why do you think she might have been born in Ireland?

I see Marguerite and Maureen are with Henrietta in 1939, but where are the others?

Can you list approximate years of birth for Terence, Doreen and Joyce?

There's a Joycelynn but she has MMN Sewell. Odd thing is, she is born in the same district as Brian and then marries in Gainsboro where all the other are.

Can't find a marriage for a Sewell to a Wildash.

Edit: John's first wife was a Sewell back in 1919. Did he register Joycelynn's birth and make a mistake with the maiden name?

No registered births for Scotland for 1900 --1906.

Re Terence/Terry

I'm wondering about this man:

Mr Terence John Wildash
in the England and Wales, Death Index, 1989-2018
Name: Mr Terence John Wildash
Gender: Male
Age: 72
Birth Date: 26 Apr 1933
Last Residence: Tavistock, Devon, England
Postal Code District: PL19
Death Date: 26 Jul 2005

When he married his surname was either Jones or Wildash:

Terence J Wildash
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Marriage Index, 1916-2005
Name: Terence J Wildash
Registration Date: 1987

Terence J Jones
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Marriage Index, 1916-2005
Name: Terence J Jones
Registration Date: 1987
[Jan 1987]
Registration district: Tavistock
Inferred County: Devon
Spouse: Maureen M Hutt
Volume Number: 21

His wife's death:

WILDASH, MAUREEN MARGARET 1930
GRO Reference: DOR Q1/2018 in Devon (423-1I) Entry Number 516758568


There's no birth of a Terence J Wildash in 2nd qr 1933, but there are two Terence J Jones-es.
One of them was born in Islington, mms Jenner.


There's also the birth of a Joyce I Jones, mms Jenner, in Islington, in 1928.

On 1939 Register Henrietta and family were at 3 Willoughby Park Road, Tottenham.

Henrietta's also there on 1938 ER, with John Albert Wildash.

In 1934, John Wildash is listed with his wife Margaret at 55 St Pauls Road, Islington.
In 1933 and 1932 Margaret and John Alfred (same person as John Albert ?) are at 18 Arundel Square, Islington.
In 1935, Margaret Ann and John Alfred are at 99 Holloway Road, Islington.

The only marriage I can see for a John Wildash to a Margaret is the one to Margaret Sewell.

In 1936 and 1937, John Alfred and Harriett Wildash are at 83 Bride Street, Islington.
Is this Henrietta?

Harriett can be a shorter version of Henrietta. I wonder if there was some name changing because she wasn't divorced? They did move away, once they finally got married.

I don't see him after his marriage.

Possible death - 3 trees on Ancestry think this too (or maybe one does and the others have copied):

John B Jones

The trees don't mention Harriet. One has a private entry for spouse, the others don't list a wife.


Two of them say he's on 1932 ER in Islington with his mother. He's not - that's his father John Barnes Jones.
