I presume you mean Ancestry

So the woman had a relationship after her husband died..........not unusual

Which qtr did the man die?

Which qtr was Helen's birth registered?

Have you done the maths?

She appears to be called May - c1903

There is also Hubert R Tennant 1913

Where did you get the name HELEN?

Not sure what your problem is................apart from the 1913 birth.

Amy obviously didn't stay faithful to her husband's memory - IF the 1913 birth is her child.

She would be free to marry - Would you agree maybe the child is illigitimate and she just used her deceased husbands name as the childs

Obviously....no 'maybe' about it
