The image give the DOB as 22 May 1915, not 14 April 1900.
But the DOB of Mary Frideswinda on the line below, has been corrected from 14 July 1900 to 22 May 1915.
Seems like some mix-up somewhere.

There are a surprising number of Agnes Harringtons in 1939, but none with a Douglas or Montague.

If this is Montague's death, with age a few years out, then he should have been around in 1939:

Montague D Harrington
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Montague D Harrington
Death Age: 73
Birth Date: abt 1875
Registration Date: Sep 1948
Registration district: Hastings
Inferred County: Sussex
Volume: 5h
Page: 217

have you found them on the 1939 register

For the benefit of newcomers to this family saga - and for purposes of possible elimination - on your other thread you have discounted this family in 1911, because the census says the parents had had 4 children, (the three daughters listed here, plus a son Bernard) which doesn't allow for Agnes;


1911:
2 Greenhill Park, Harlesden, Middx
Michael T Kelly Head Married Male 59 1852 Commercial Traveller Wolverhampton
Lucy Elizabeth Kelly Wife Married Female 53 1858 - Coven Staffs
Margaret Kelly Sister Single Female 54 1857 - Wolverhampton
Mary Veronica Kelly Daughter Single Female 21 1890 Certificated Mistress Willesden
Celeste Margaret Kelly Daughter Single Female 18 1893 Uncertificated Mistress Willesden
Winefrede Lucy Kelly Daughter Single Female 16 1895 - Willesden

I have the marriage certificate of Montague Douglas Harrington and Agnes Mary Kelly, 15th January 1916.

His details:
Montague Douglas Harrington, 46 yrs, Widower. Bootmaker (Master), 5 Ravenna Road, Putney. Father Edwin Fryer Harrington (dec'd) Bootmaker (Master).

Her details:
Agnes Mary Kelly, 26 yrs, Spinster. Governess. 28 Elystan Road, Chelsea. Father Michael Kelly (dec'd), Commercial Traveller.

Witnesses: Sybil Vane and W. F. Strevens.

I have found a William Francis Strevens in the 1911,

First name(s) William Francis
Last name Strevens
Relationship Son
Marital status Single
Sex Male
Age 34
Birth year 1877
Birth place Surrey Clapham
Occupation Shop Assistant (original adds Boots & Shoes, which is appropriate)
Address 2 Prairie St Battersea Sw
County London, Surrey

All I know about Agnes is that she was a staunch Roman Catholic, so she might have been born just Agnes, and taken the name Mary at her confirmation. No idea of where she was born. Any help in tracking her down would be very much appreciated.

PS Montague D Harrington's father was William Harrington, who died when Montague was 6. His much older brother was William Edmund Friar Harrington, who had also died before 1916 - I wonder if he confused the two. I am not looking for any information about Montague, only Agnes.
