Thanks K and MarieCeleste

They are a possibles.May be a bad transcription

K Report 23 Feb 2013 13:14

The signiture in 1911 does look like Heney

MarieCeleste

MarieCeleste Report 23 Feb 2013 13:16

Fredk, I'd say the 1891 I posted was more than a possibility! Look at the in-law's surname.

Name is Heney on the original, I've submitted a correction to FMP.

Never thought of that misstranscription. Thanks again to both

Thanks again both I have ended up with more than I asked for
.Will now examine it all

Fredk Report 24 Feb 2013 09:07

Having had a chance to view the resuts there seems to be a great deal of mistranscribing. As Clarisse does not appear in the 1911 Census she was either dead or had married. Nothing in Free BMD

MarieCeleste

She must have been hiding somewhere in 1911:
