Births Dec 1856
Petch Emily Alicia Clerkenwell 1b 305

copied from FreeBMD.
However...

The page number is not within the range expected for the district. Note that there a number of possible reasons for this, including an error in the district, the page, the volume, the date or the type of entry

I think this is the marriage

Dec qtr 1881
William Morton Tynemouth 10b 368

Emma Alice Petch Tynmouth 10b 368

So she is listed as Emma instead of Emily. Its a typed list so may be a typing error

She was living in reg district Tynemouth on the 1881!!

Hi Her first Child James was born 1883, I am thinking either she was married before or her mum remarried after her father died.

Registration was not compulsory until 1875 so there may not be a birth registration.

Sara Report 30 Jul 2008 21:18

I am driving myself crazy trying to find Emily. I have been told by a relative that her family was from Manchester and were Quakers. I was told her siblings were Ette, Nellie, Christina and a brother Charles. I was told Emily was the eldest.

I know that Emily met and had children with William Morton. I can not find a marriage for them.
She is showing on the 1891 Census as being born c1860 in Oldham.
I have got her daughters birth Certificate which shows her as Emily Alice Morton formerly Petch.

I can find no birth reference for Emily and no marriage reference.

HELP!!!

Many thanks for any info.
