Alviegal.... thankyou...yes Colin Charman was in touch with me years ago when I started researching and I gave him the little info I have

Wow you guys are so good at this ...I need more practice. My mum says all she wants for Xmas is to find out who winifred was so I'm really pushing it . So many rabbit holes it's hurting my brain. I really appreciate you all helping me

If Helen was a daughter of Tom and Kate why would she become a wynn if an Ellen married a William wynn ?

This looks like her birth


TIJOU, ELLEN NEWMAN
GRO Reference: 1866 S Quarter in SAINT MARY MAGDALEN BERMONDSEY SURREY Volume 01D Page 59


So seems to be a totally different family

No birth in Scotland under that name either ,cant see anything on Incomming Passenger lists.........Wynn is a much used Welsh surname.

she possibly took a stepfathers surname at a young age.?

What was Winifred’s address when she married? Did she declare an occupation?

I think I've gone down the wrong rabbit hole with the tijou family ... really thought I'd found a clue aswell...


At the time of marriage the address was 52 Jeffreys road Clapham road London, it sates Winifred as a spinster

I believe 52 Jeffreys road is Stockwell lambeth

On the 1925, 1926 and 1927 ERs, these people are at 52 Jeffreys Road, Lambeth:

George & Louisa Cooke; Robert Maxwell Dalrymple; the Ellis family (Douglas, Edwin James, and Louisa Amelia); and Julia & Stephen Wilfred Sullivan.

Winifred must just have been a boarder/lodger.

Argyllgran ah thanks so much for looking for me that's fab

These are the Winifred Kathleen registrations on freebmd, who were born in 1894 or 1895 (for a February birth and allowing for a year out from declared 1939 date of birth)

May be your Winifred was registered with one of these surnames, but later took a stepfather's name of Wynn..?

The Hewett one died in infancy

I looked only for births relating to the DOB as per1939, so my info is limited
