2nd Cousin 1 x rem Derek j Hender gone off the radar
« on: Thursday 13 April 23 12:11 BST (UK) »
Please can anyone help to track my 2nd Cousin 1 x rem Derek John Hender b 1932 in Camden London?. All i know about him is that his Parents were Claude Hender (Policeman/Sergeant) and Ivy Hender . I am not subscribed to Ancestry at present and records are so few. If i could track him then i would know if he had any Family . Then add it all to my F history records. Thanking you all.

There is a death in 1988 in Camden; name and birth year match.

Parents in 1939 shown as Alexander and Ivy. 

You could search for any possible marriage using FreeBMD.

Have you used freebmd to search for any marriage/children?  Possible one in 1954

His death is on freebmd in 1988

Have you looked if he left a will?   https://www.gov.uk/search-will-probate

This latest news reg Derek is appreciated. The Surrey Marriage location sounds promising as Derek lived in Camden /London area . As for Rhona i will try to check her out somehow. Many thanks so far .

Possible second marriage for Rhona:
Marriage: Rhona M Hender . Alan G Haley
Jan-Feb 1972 . Tiverton, Devon . Volume 7a . Page1475

If the marriage and second marriage are correct, this is her:
Death: Ms Rhona Margaret Haley . 73 (22 Sep 1934)
7 Mar 2007 . Tiverton, Devon (EX16 5)

Probate: Rhona Margaret Haley . 7 March 2007 . Probate 9 May 2007 . 2457175 . Bristol

This seems to be her:
Birth: Rhona M Holmes
Oct-Dec 1934 . Battersea, London . Volume 1d . Page 484

Derek John Hender
HENDER, Derek John of 3 Manitoba Gdns, Cullompton, Devon died 8 June 1988. Administration Bristol 4 August. Not exceeding £70,000 8880603439M

This is not making sense.
Derek’s death was registered in London, when Administration says he lived in Cullompton, Devon. The name, initial and date fit.

Did they have homes in London and Devon, or was he visiting London? Clearly Rhona was born in London and died in Devon. It seems there is a son born 1959 N.E. Surrey, so probably still alive. In 1981, he married in mid-Devon. I have sent you a PM with that information.

Added: These are his parents:
Marriage: Alexander J C Hender . Ivy M Aslett
Apr-Jun 1926 . Lambeth, London . Volume 1d . Page 555

Also: There was a brother:
Birth: Alexander H Hender . mmn Aslett
Apr-Jun 1928 . Wandsworth . Volume 1d . Page 818

The grave ShaunJ found could fit in being buried alone after divorce.

The brother:
Marriage: Alexander H Hender . Pamela A Lisle
Apr-Jun 1954 . Surrey North Eastern . Volume 5g . Page 978
They had a son CVA Hender born in 1958 Banbury and a possible marriage in 1992, so probably still alive.
