Wild stab in the dark - in view of Harriet Louisa and Edward Frederick's mms Curtis, and the apparent lack of a Jenner/Curtis marriage, and also the fact that we can't find the children in 1911:

I don't see him in 1911.


Unfortunately, young Harriet Louisa and Edward Frederick are not with either family in 1911, which would have been a good result!

And then, as already posted, in 1936-37 John's with Harriet/Henrietta in Islington, and 1938-39 in Tottenham.

John and Margaret are at other Islington addresses before 1935.

Harriet is not the normal diminutive for Henrietta

Henrietta is Hetty/Hettie

Harriet is Hattie

BUT, that doesn't always apply, of course.

Thankyou everyone who’s replied I’ve just seen them,
The first child of Henrietta was Edna - she was the eldest and married either an American/Canadian and moved to either America or Canada,
Doreen we’ve placed as being born in 1925, Terry is somewhere in the middle of 1925 and that of Maureen being born is 1936,
We think she’s from Ireland as she always said she was but my other half said that she never had an Irish accent and it was very much a London one,
There was always a rumour that the first 3 (Edna, Doreen and Terry) has a different father that wasn’t John a Wildash, as they had completely different build to him and didn’t resemble him at all, possibly proven by doreens birth certificate having Jenner on, and maureens having Wildash on ,
I’ve contacted that many people and looked at so many leads I’m starting to lose my mind :-S

Also somewhere after 1939, Henrietta and John along with (possibly Terry) Maureen, joy/Joyce and Brian moved to Lincolnshire, Henrietta died in 1982

If you wish to progress this, buy a copy of her marriage cert. IF she told the truth, you will find out her father’s name -IF she knew it

-ErikaH
i was wandering about getting the marriage certificate but wasnt sure whether or not the same applied back then with having the parents on there, as the results on here never do

ErikaH Report 11 Jun 2020 10:59

Ever since 1837, the father's names - if known - have been recorded on England/Wales marriage certs.

One has always to consider that people weren't necessarily truthful, especially if they were illegitimate

Nina,

If you read back, Terry was born a Jones. Edna was from John's first marriage and is not Henrietta's daughter.
