Daughter Sarah to Patrick Hennessey and Mary Sweetman in 1876, so marriage window potentially pushing back:

Thank you all for such wonderful help.

I'm trying to attach the 1897 marriage certificate for Harry and Sarah.  I'm also attaching the birth certificate of their child Victor Edward (my grandfather) born in 1902 - this is where I saw the mention of her name being Henderson, but the marriage certificate clearly states Hennessey.  Do you think that is odd.  I'm optimistic that I'm on the right track, but you may have a different view?

On the 1911 census (which I'm struggling to find at the moment) it shows her birth place as New Ross, Ireland.

You are only allowed to post a small portion of the certificates for deciphering purposes.

Are you going by a transcription of the 1911 census record or have you seen the scanned image?
The LDS index to 1911 census gives her name as TAYLOR but I haven't seen the original.

Witnesses to marriage were Edward H. Hughes & Alice Hughes. Wonder if this is the same Alice Hughes (address Cupar St.)-

Possible marriage but groom is Thomas Hughes-

Clearly Hennessey in the birth registration for Harry born in 1898:

Son Harry died after a few weeks:

Son Henry born in August 1900 in Bray, Co. Wicklow:

Again clearly Hennessey (likewise in the baptismal record I've seen), it's possible that 'Henderson' was simply a one-off error.

Agree with gaffy that 'Henderson' probably just an error- perhaps English registrar didn't understand Sarah's accent when she registered Victor's birth. (if you mumble Hennessey it does sound a bit like Henderson)
