WJ Ennever (1869-1947). From the portrait by J Seymour R.A., exhibited in the Royal Academy.

1800 - 1843 (43 years)

Name	John ENNEVER
Nickname	William
Born	1799/1800	Hornchurch, Essex
Christened	27 Apr 1800	Parish Church, St Andrew, Hornchurch, Essex
	Recorded as son of George & Mary Ennever in the Hornchurch Parish register but believed to be son of Joseph & Mary: 1. There is a gap in the births of Joseph & Mary's children between 1798 & 1805, although children were born both before and after that date. 2. The christenings of "George" and Mary all fit neatly into that gap. 3. There are no known records of a George & Mary in the area either before or after these christenings 4. John Ennever (b1800)'s will appoints Thomas Boyton, who married Elizabeth Ennever, as an executor. Elizabeth's christening identifies Joseph as her father.

Notes	I have assumed John to be the son of Joseph based on the following: 1. his marriage to Jane Farmer in 1841 identifies his father as Joseph Ennever, a Farmer 2. the gap in dates of children of Joseph & Mary 3. geographic proximity. No christening record has yet been found to confirm this relationship, however. There is no other reference to John being named John William other than the marriage of his son, John William, to Elizth Harris in 1866.
