For those interested in Woolf Barnato's third wife as I am, you will find that her name was not Isaachsen as listed in geni, but according to the Cracroft peerage site shown above, she was the daughter of Charles Pierre Jenkinson and she remarried in February of 1952.
I welcome any and all comments on this please.

Thanks Erica. Anthony, unless we hear arguments against it, I'm happy to change the name to Jenkinson. Thankyou for your diligence in alerting us. Good luck for your book on the subject.

Hi Sharon,

I think the evidence in Cracoft's peerage has been well vetted and is reliable.
As there is little written about Woolf Barnato's third wife, every website that lists anything, repeats the same thing. I would love to know where the Norwegian heiress attribution came from.

Will you go ahead and make the change as well as adding Charles Pierre Jenkinson. That may well expand the tree.

Will do, Tony. Do we know who she re-married? It wasn't an Isaachson?

Am I being dumb if i can't see the Norwegian heiress reference you're making?

Wikipedia: Wolf Barnato
Personal life

Barnato was married three times:

Dorothy Maitland Falk: 1915–1933, two daughters Virginia and Diana
Jacqueline Claridge Quealy: 1933–1947. The daughter of a wealthy American colliery owner, the couple had two sons Michael Jay, and Peter Woolf (1934–1959; died of cancer February 1959, San Francisco)
Joan Isachsen: December 1947-his death. Norwegian heiress

Joan Barnato remarried Lt. Col. Murrough O'Brien on February 11th 1952 according to Cracroft and there are children from this marriage.

I just changed the wikipedia page on Woolf Barnato to reflect the updated info.

Thanks Tony for that, and to Sharon for making the edits in Wikipedia.

I have been out of action for a while.
