Hi

I do recall an Aunt Maud but not sure where from. I will try and find out.

I was informed a few years ago about Rachel’s daughter Annie who was my grandmothers sister. The story was that she had been killed by her husband but no records existed. I spent years trying to find out what happened to her and by chance this year found a really sad story.

She lost two husbands in WW1 in Flanders. And married again after the war. In 1929 her husband killed her in Longton, Stoke on Trent leaving three children. However I located a grave just a few hundred yards from my home where both are buried. Also I have newspaper articles about it. A really sad story and a bit strange that they were buried together.

Seems to be a few mysteries around the JENKINS family desendants.

Regards
