Ivy Catherine Dewhurst JESSOP
Set As Default Person -
Name Ivy Catherine Dewhurst JESSOP Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 27 Dec 1894 Manchester, Lancashire, England
- The age in the death registration index suggest Ivy was born about 1890. However, there is no Ivy Catherine or Catherine Ivy born within a couple of years of 1890 in England or Wales. The closest to this date is Ivy Catherine D, whose birth was registered in Chorlton RD in 1895. The censuses show the D stood for Dewhurst, and that she was in West Chorlton in both 1901 and 1911. This fits in with where Geoffrey married, so I am fairly sure this is the right person.
Both censuses show her birth place as Manchester.

The location suggests that this is the death of Ivy C, except that the name is given as Catherine. It seems likely that she was known as Catherine, or there may have been a mistake in recording the data or transferring it to the index.
