Henrietta Elizabeth Kerr is referred to as a spinster and her father is listed as William Henry Kerr (deceased) - Oil Cloth dealer. When she marries William Turner Devine (as Henrietta Elizabeth Carter, widow) on 26 Dec 1917 the father's details are exactly the same as the 1913 marriage. Looking at census and baptisms William Henry Kerr's occupation varies between general dealer, lithographic printer, auctioneer so I'd say Oil Cloth dealer fits right in.

	She wouldn't be the first to marry bigamously under her maiden name.
