JENKIN, Rona Maud (nee CHETWYND) 1914 - 1983

[Henry W]

This responds to her inclusion in Centenarians in Debrett's Part 5 (2026)

I don't believe I have investigated this woman before and she appears on the word document list that Colin posted a few days ago.

She does not appear in my most recent copy of Debrett's (2008 print edition) and so I first of all will layout who I think she is - please correct me if I'm wrong!

Debrett's 2008 does give unknown descedants of Henry Walter Petit CHETWYND (b 1869), son of Henry CHETWYND, 4th son of Sir George CHETWYND, 1st Baronet.

This page: https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LRV7-9PM/henry-walter-petit-chetwynd-1868-1958

Gives Henry's years as 1868 - 1958 and sets out his children, including a death year for Rona in 1983 and her marriage to a Reginald JENKIN.  (NB Colin's document lists her surname as JENKINS)

This findagrave page confirms her death on 24 November 1983.

Thanks Henry.  DPB online says she is "now deceased" without giving a date - also her surname as Jenkins so good to have that corrected. So her husband was Reginald Richard Joseph Jenkin not Harry Reginald Jenkin(s) as DPB - confirmed by search  www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz which confirms year of marriage in 1938 (no year given in DPB)
