Oops I'm talking tripe about Henrietta possibly being on the 1911 as a single woman. :'(

I don't have access to 1921 census.

It's available on a pay per view basis on FindMyPast but the index is free to search

Looking at the 1939 they were living in Cheshire so am assuming this is her death reg

Henrietta Finney aged 76
Sept qtr 1959 Wallasey  10a  514

Hard to even tell her age because of that line - I thought the top looked like an 8 - but even Connors age is wrong - shown as 74 when he was only 61??

Perhaps she was 56 in 1939

There's the birth registration of an Elizabeth A Finney, Dec Qtr 1911, 1Northwich - mother's maiden name Smith. There's a possible "fit" for her on the 1921 Census if you search for Henrietta Finney of an age that fits the 1939 register.
The husband's given name doesn't "fit" but there are intriguing elements of the record that "fit" hawking!.

When you are able to look at FindMyPast, there is also mention of Connor in the newspapers - Nottingham Evening Post of 13 February 1942 - where John Finney is fined £1 for assuming the name Connor Finney after he had come to England from Eire.  :-\
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

The Police Gazette, 20 Nov 1917
Deserters

Age doesn't quite fit but we're again in the Cheshire area.
