There is a birth for Henrietta Lefever Sept Qtr 1888 Bethnal Green Reg Dist Vol 1c Page 249. The name of one of the trees on Ancestry, James/Lefever family tree suggests Henrietta and her husband Walter James are the subjects of the tree, and as it has an actual date of birth and address of birth it seems that a source document has been accessed. I'm not sure how you can conclude that the information in the tree is false without checking it out. The birth certificate would do that. Andy
