Harriett Jenness' marriage was registered in the December quarter 1880 in Mitford district, as was a marriage of James Brown, same district - I could not find this in free BMD, it was from marriages in the ancestry site.

I can't find it yet either but shall keep looking, The image actually gives the mother's first name as Harriett, and there is a stepson of James with the surname Jenness (presumably Harriett's son by a previous marriage).
