Where is Amy Jennings?

[WendyPusey]

I have a birth certificate for Amy Jennings born 21/9/1880 at 1 Pembles Cottages, Chatham, Kent. Parents were William Jennnings and Clara Lewis.

Can anyone find Amy on the 1881 or 1891 census?

I cannot find a death so she must be somewhere.

Also can anyone find a marriage for William Jennings and Clara Lewis?

[Elaine ..Spain]

Have you found the parents in 1881 and 1891?

[WendyPusey]

No Elaine I haven't.

[margaretmarch]

What birth details do you have for Clara and William? I'm not finding any Jennings people in Kent in 1881 at the moment

[WendyPusey]

I have no details for the parents at all except William was a shipwright.

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

I have no details for the parents at all except William was a shipwright.

Is that from Amy's marriage cert? When/where did she marry?

[maudarby]

There's an unmarried Clara Jennings living at that address in 1881

I have just found a Clara Jennings c1849 Chatham, Kent unmarried living at 1 Pembles Cottages, Chatham, Kent in 1881 and also in 1871 with her parents.

Do you think there is something odd here?

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Yes!

[WendyPusey]

No Merry those details came from the birth certificate.

[maudarby]

Did you notice that Clara's father William's occupation was shipwright.

I was going to say I couldn't find the marriage on freebmd so looks like a few fibs on the birth cert

[WendyPusey]

Um, Yes I did.

But I still can't find Amy.

[WendyPusey]

Another strange thing too. I have been looking for an Arabella Ethel Brown born 1884 Deptford, Kent. Can't find one, but I have just found an Arabella Ethel Jennings!

[WendyPusey]

Can't find her anywhere either!

[Elaine ..Spain]

Another strange thing too. I have been looking for an Arabella Ethel Brown born 1884 Deptford, Kent. Can't find one, but I have just found an Arabella Ethel Jennings!

Strange that you mention the Brown surname because I was originally looking at this entry in the 1891

Clara Brown c 1851 Chatham - widow
Amy Brown c1881 Chatham,
Daisy Brown c 1885 Deptford,

[WendyPusey]

Oh Elaine I think you may have found them. Thank you.

On Arabella Ethel Brown's marriage certificate her father is William Brown deceased a draughtsman.

I think there are several little fibs been told here.

[Elaine ..Spain]

1901 Clara Brown with daughter Ethel.

[WendyPusey]

On the 1861 Clara Jennings has a sister Arabella! There is also a Arabella Baker widow living in the same house as Clara in 1891.

[WendyPusey]

Can't find a Jennings/Brown marriage either! More fibs!!!

Thanks Elaine, will have to persue the Jennings family.
