Odd - I thought I had him on the 1939 at 41 Timothy Road, Stepney, transcribed on FMP as Christopger J Wren.

The odd thing is that although is that the day & month (27 Mar) both match, the YoB is 1901.

His wife appears to be Rosetta, but if its him he married in 1920

ADDED: Scrap that one - marriage names his father as Christopher John too. Coincidence that they have the same birthday though

Hi
Thank you for all the information

Christopher Wrenns death is proving very hard to find ........

Another possible birth:
Births Mar 1929
Wrenn Alfred J Pryor Edmonton 3a 822

Possible marriage:
Marriages Sep 1952
WREN Alfred J MOBLEY W.Ham 5a 1807

Ok thank you

I guess the only way to clarify this is to order his birth certificate

Looks like Winifred remarried in 1946, hence the added notations to the 1939 Register.

Marriages Jun 1946
Wren Winifred A Corbett Essex S.W. 4a 686

Was she widowed or divorced by then? Or did Christopher just disappear?

Ok I see

Very strange cannot find Christopher in the 1939 register or his death record......

Just a thought but did he die abroad during WW2? How were deaths recorded if this happened? Would fit with his wife marrying again...

There are Christopher J Wrenn immigration records into New York on Ancestry. Unfortunately I don't have an Ancestry sub, so if anyone has one, perhaps they could help here...
