I can't find Herbert's birth..........

Can you tell us Henry's occupation, please........from Margery's birth cert.

I'm a bit concerned at Jennie's second name......and why the mother is listed as Jeanie (Jennie) in 1901

The Whilesmiths seem to be elusive. I have birth certificate for Margery (my Grandmother) so I know it is the right name, but yet they just seem to have vanished.
