A marriage was found dated Q? of 1968 between Richard D Wightwick and Jonzen. So the birth index was searched from 1968 to 1988 for any chidlren surnamed Wightwick and with a mother’s maiden name of Jonzen. (This would have been fallacious if she had a previous marriage as Jonzen would then have been her surname not her maiden surname (which is what is recorded for Bithers) but no such births were found. So I have concluded that Richard H Wightwick dsp.
His will confirms that he had no children of his own, only stepchildren. In it his wife was named as Evelyn May Morven (Wightwick).
And in 1954 Christopher B Jonzen married Evelyn M M Roche in Canterbury, which sounds like her. In 1966 this Christopher B Jonzen went on to marry Daphne E Pearson, so it sound like a divorce had happened in or before 1964.
My conclusion is that Evelyn May Morven’s maiden name was Roche. So I searched for Evelyn May Roche births between 1920 and 1940. None were found, not even on FindMyPast’s world databases.
In the 1939 census tghere was an Evelyn Roche who was born Evelyn Baggs in 1932 and married a Colin C Roche in 1954. But that does not square with the marriage to C B Roche in 1954.
Lots of Eileen Roche births but no Evelyns. Though there was one possible Evelyn Cecilia:
Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
ROCHE, EVELYN CECILIA
GRO Reference: 1930 S Quarter in WEST DERBY Volume 08B Page 686
At this stage I give up!
But have a look at what I have added from tracing her death and probate records, see her Notes.

___________________
Delivered within two days on 29th April!
In his will dated 22nd February 1989, he listed:
1. His wife Evelyn May Morven Wightwick, executor,
2. Hugmphrey Roland Wightwick. executor,
3. His nephew Timothy Nigel Tremlett Wells,
4. His nephew Michael Hugh Carol Wells,
4. His stepchildren (who?)
______________________
The Wells nephews may be through his half-siblings of his mother’s first marriage. But I do not yet have them in this database. Work to be done.
Later; the same two youths were also named and left money by his half-sister Iris Muriel Joy. And their addresses in Australia were given. So they are factual.
It sounds as if he did not have any children himself so his Park line from Brown ends here.
