Am seeking details from cert as to who were the respective fathers and the witnesses. Oh and the name of the church, please.

Thanks I think I'm O.K. for Connor's parents. Henrietta is the sticking one.

Do you have them on the 1911 & 1921 census - what birthyear & birthplace is shown for Henrietta?

No I can't find any reference to Henrietta [Hetty] on 1911-UNLESS she's there as Hettie with misspelt Cicely with parents Richard and Leah Smith.
I don't have access to 1921 census.

I think Henrietta was born in 1883 -the 1939 register for her and Connor Finney has an intruding black line interfering with the birth date and anyway the day and month are given as "NK".
