married one of the Bankes family

Not much info to go on in your post

No details of when or where they married

No birth year for Henrietta and no name for husband

What timescale are we looking at?

Her father was William Thomson Fraser she was born in 1868 died 1953.  She was born in London. I managed to trace family back to John Mathison Fraser born Nov 1805 in Aberdeen

The marriage entry in the parish register (1897) for Holy Trinity, Chelsea shows her father to be  William Thomson Fraser, Gentleman.  A witness was John Fraser.

Hello
I'm assuming this is Henrietta Jenny Fraser who was born 1867/8 married 1897 Walter Raplh Bankes  and died 1953 .
Her marriage certificate at Holy Trinity Kensington gives her father as William Thomson Fraser gentleman and there is a witness John Fraser.
If that's her then there is a overseas birth for her Sourabaya, East Indies 1866 in Armed forces births.
1881 census Kensington Gardens
Mrs W T Fraser widow 32 Jarva
J 14 daughter Jarva
John T(hompson) Fraser 12 Jarva
J.M Fraser 1 daughter Jarva

Jessie Maude the youngest was actually born in London at 27 Kensington gardens 4.3.1880 ,mother Anna Onnen

There is a newspaper announcement of William Thomson Fraser 's marriage 10.3.1865 second son of John M Fraser of 17 Mincing Lane London and Anna eldest daughter of Dr Onnen of Sourabaya.

WTF died 30.5.1880 and left a Will of £3000 late of Bratavia died 27 Pembridge Square  Execuotor Arthur Abraham Fraser 11 Grt Tower St London brother C of London Provincial produce broker.
His and his wife's grave is in Kensal Green Cemetery and is on Find a grave .com .She died 9.10.1885 Anna Hermonia Sophia Cornelia Onnen Fraser.

WTF overseas birth is in Antwerp s of John Matthison Fraser and Eleanor Gertude Emeile Fraser 15.10.1841 merchant

John Mathieson Fraser was indeed from Aberdeen born 21.11.1805 and married Eleanora Gertrauda Emillie Nootebohm at Piccadilly St James 23.9.1833.She was of ST George Hanover Square and her father William had to give consent as she was underage born 6.10.1814  in Antwerp.
Her grave is again in Kensal Green Cemetery on Find a grave.com.(it gives all their dates).
In 1851 and 1861 they are living 18 Craven Hill London.

JMF was baptised at Aberdeen at 21 Nov 1805 s of Alexander Fraser and Agnes Dingwall Fordyce.

To save possible duplication of effort - from reply on Wiltshire board it appears poster is back to Scotland 1805 so possibly already has much of what has been posted above
