Unfortunately I did not know my Father well, his name was HENRY (HARRY)JENKINSON, mother was MARGARET TASKER, spelling suspect, but she had siblings JIMMY, FLORENCE issue PAULINE,EDITHm BILLY MAC, AND MARY. My mother thinks they were Jewish of chezovlakian origin. MARGARET was a matron at a local hospital and remarried BILL WILLIAMS, after the death of her first husband. He was killed in an automobile accident where a woman mistook her acelarator for a brake in 1934. My father was from monied parents, he was home educated and the JENKINSONS enforced a protestant upbringing on him. At 14 years of age they tried to make him a ward of court. He was an extremely bitter man as a result of his upbringing. I am trying to research his past in the hope of understanding what made him reject his family on moving to South Africa. Thats it folks. Looking forward to not being dunked in the pond. and although he did say his cousin was a Baron, I was never sure. There are two JENKINSON lines, one from Lancashire and the other from your part of the woods. His father was killed in Manchester. I have been trying to contact the other JENKINSONS. His mothers last address was Cheetham Hill. She worked at Prestwich Mental hospital and then moved to a Creche. Before she dies she worked at a home for the blind- Seemed to be a game old girl still active until late 90s, but she also would not answer any questions. The family names were HENRY and ROBERT so he told me. Basically I can see I will need birth certificates to be sure. Any info will be interesting though.
