Henrietta died in Dec qr 1902 in Portsmouth age 37, Portsmouth 2b 294 The best bet to find Henrietta's maiden name would be birth of Georgina Alice DURHAM in Dec quarter 1888, Dover 2a 975 Elizabeth DURHAM married in Dec qr 1908 and there is also a John Browning SINCLAIR on that page. This is Gloucester district 6a 646 Either her writing was poor, or more likely the local vicar or registrar had poor handwriting, as in the GRO index she also appears with surnames DONLAN, DUNHAM and DUNBAR Catherine DURHAM married in June quarter 1911 in Gloucester. 6a 709 Best wishes Jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon's FH" <jons.fh@btinternet.com> To: <berkshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 30, 2011 12:50 PM Subject: Re: [BRK] Stephen Allan Nixey DURHAM > Dear Nivard, > > This is absolutely wonderful!
