I am trying to trace the surname of my grandfather's first wife. His name was Henry Turner b. 1880 in Poplar London and her name was Malvena b. 1884 and died 1905. I have trawled through the marriage records but with little success. His second wife was Eleanor May Wood.
Thank you for any help.

Image states married for 4 years, 3 children - 1 had died. It has an Eleanor Turner aged 5 months who is crossed out who I assume is their child who died.

So question is - where is Malvina junior?

She married later on...
