Thank you CaroleW
Well I had Minnie’s death (see image) but didn’t join the dots.
Herbert married Minnie in 1906. He is with her on the 1911 census.
I have found two children - Ronald and Gwendoline. Jenkins / Campbell.
Herbert is head of house in 1921 and Violet Moore and her son Ralph Charles Moore is boarding with him.
Herbert is with Violet in 1939 and she is listed as Violet Jenkins.
Minnie is living with Arthur V Gale in 1939 with her two children. She is about 20 years older than him. She is listed as Jenkins. She is possibly just lodging.
(Yes I have her on the census in 1921 with her two children under the name of Campbell. Both children are too!)
I have found a possible child for Violet and Herbert born in 1945.
It was the inscription at the bottom saying “and our dear mother” that made me wonder if names had been mentioned on the gravestone indicating that Herbert and Violet had children.
Herbert died first in 1952 and Minnie was buried on the 9th June 1965 obviously with him then.

I am hoping I have the right group for my question,if not please could you advise me of the correct group. Thanks.
I am trying to research Herbert Jenkins born in Camberwell in 1883.
Herbert married Minnie Maud Campbell in 1906 and is with her on the 1911 census.
By 1921 Herbert has a lodger - Millicent Violet Moore and her child Ralph living with him.
On the 1939 register Violet is listed as JENKINS however I have found no evidence of Herbert marrying her as of yet. Violet was born in Edmonton as Millicent Violet Lowen in 1896.
a*****y has suggested that Herbert died in 1952 and is buried in Morden cemetery.
a*****y has also suggested that Violet who died in 1980 is buried with him.
Unfortunately I cannot read the top part of the gravestone despite enlarging it.
I wondered if anyone had an app or something that could clean the photo up in order to help decipher the writing above Violet’s name.
Many thanks

Hi mckha489,
I don’t like your tone in your message. Unless you have any substance to comments you should not make them.
Although the family had been split up after the death of their parents they always “kept in touch”. In fact we are still “in touch” a couple of generations later.
Arthur has always been spoken about. He was my grandfather’s twin brother.
The fact that my mother was mentioned in a Will is neither here nor there.
Yes there are family secrets in many families but Arthur was not a secret.

Hi Lucy2,
I haven’t been able to find a passenger list with Arthur’s name on it.
One of the twin’s older brothers had earlier emigrated to NZ. He worked his passage.
Their other older brother along with his family emigrated later. The family still live in NZ.
It was felt that the family could possibly have a new life in NZ especially as the twins had been in a Children’s Home.
Arthur was always spoken about by my grandparents. When we visited his sister (my great aunt) and her family, the question “I wonder what happened to Arthur” always cropped up.
Ironically despite my grandparents and parents having passed away he is still spoken about.
Yes as soon as the 1921 census was opened on FindMyPast, I searched. I have also extensively searched the 1939 register using his birthdate only.
As long as I am alive I will keep looking for him. He is part of my family.
Best wishes

Hi Everyone,
I can’t remember when I started this posting but I have retired since!!
I did my DNA in the hope that there may be a descendent of Arthur’s looking for family but years have passed and there has been no “match”.
Whilst looking through my F****k feed today I found an article that the NZ Obituaries group had “shared” from Friends of Karori Cemetery.
This article contained entries for men who had died in Wellington and were buried without being identified.
I was immediately drawn to the burial on 30th December 1914 in Plot: *Ch Eng 2/A/39
Constable Thompson had found a male in the harbour.
I am wondering what are the chances that this man was Arthur?
The newspaper article about money going missing from his brother’s hotel states the date as Christmas Eve 1914.
Can anyone put me in the right direction to find more information and perhaps a Coroner’s report.
Many thanks

The family living in Corbett Crescent are correct.
My friend said that it is her family.
Her Uncle Thomas Elfed Davies is buried with his first wife in Rhydlewis.
She said that all the family were very talented.
Thomas Elfed Davies was a teacher and had a law degree.
It is his second wife that I am trying to locate. As I do not know when or where she was born I have been searching for her first husband.
There is a possibility that she was Irish.
She was the housekeeper for Sea Captain Evans before marrying him.
I was hoping to find her on an electoral register for the area she lived in - Pendre, Cardigan.
I have found her as Mary Davies but not as Mary Evans or with her husband.
