Very sad news indeed. Always a wonderful contributor to the Forum in many ways, not least with thoughtful and courteous service as a Moderator.

My condolences to her family if any of them reads this thread. I hope they do. We, like them, will never forget her.

Another shocker to the system, like most I have known Jennifer for many years and like everyone else I can honestly say she was a lovely lady to talk too, never a nasty word about anyone, she will be missed not only on this forum but all the others she was a member of....thoughts are with her family ....
 
Sad news indeed. I think was originally from Erdington, she certainly had a passion or the place and often posted photos on other social media platforms about Erdington.
 
Such sad news. I never met her but felt a connection through her Erdington memories. You’ll be sadly missed. RIP Jenny and condolences to the family. Viv. x
 
Such a lovely lady and a delight to listen to, so glad I had the pleasure to meet her. A true daughter of Birmingham. RIP.
 
I remember meeting a couple from Canada a few years ago at a meet in the Bull, I still have the Canadian pennant she gave me, I gave them a framed painting of the Bull, not sure whether this was Jenny. Anyway my sincere condolences. Eric
 
So very sad , although we started on BHF around the same time and were moderators together we never met .
I shared many messages with her, both of us recalling our past in Erdington.
She will be sadly missed, a real lady.
RIP Jennyann.
 
So sorry to hear the sad news, always loved reading about her memories of Erdington. My condolences to her family. R.I.P.

Helo Sorry to be a nuisance bus does anyone know what Jenny Ann surname was. I was a Sunday School and Church with her but cannot remember the surname. Fentham
 
Fentham,

Given that we can calculate Jenny Ann's birthday from the information that we originally received, then there are 11 possible surnames that could have been that of Jenny Ann, one of which was VENVILLE (mother's maiden name WELCH). I couldn't find an obituary in local BC papers, but I find did this, which from the signature on the bottom, seems to confirm that that was indeed her surname:-

I'm sure it was Nicol. But that would have been her married name of course and Maurice's article tells us that it was formerly Venville.
