Where do you have them in 1911 and 1921

If Hannah was born in 1865 and married JENKINS in 1915 she would have been 50 years old.  You say that from that marriage they had three children but I don't think that would have happened unless the children were born before they married.

I think you would need to give a list of all the children's names and birth years to sort out a timeline.  Do you have them both in the 1911 census?

Hi Rosie99.
Edith Annie Jenkins was my Great Gran, She was a beautiful lady. Edith's Brother John Was born in 1882, that puts John 44 when Ivor is born, That all fits.that is a better age to have children than 50's
Thanks for your help and keep up the good work.
