I would be very grateful for any help in finding the following family on any other census records:
This is England 1851:

Name: William Paynter
Age: 48
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1803
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Susanna
Gender: Male
Where born: Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England

Civil Parish: Christchurch Spitalfields
County/Island: Middlesex
Country: England

Street address:

Occupation:

Condition as to marriage:

Disability: View Image

Registration district: Whitechapel
Sub registration district: Artillery
ED, institution, or vessel: 5
Neighbors: View others on page
Household schedule number: 12
Household Members: Name Age
William Paynter 48
Susanna Paynter 39
Emma Paynter 16
Maryann Paynter 13
William Paynter 11

I am trying to trace this family to confirm or rule out my theory that the Emma Paynter above could be Emma Poyton.

On the 1861 Census, Emma Monksfield, 1836 is the wife of Joseph Monksfield. She was born in Spitalfields.
Also in the house is an Esther Lyons (1791), who is indicated to be Emma's mother.

I have found the Marriage of a Joseph Monksfield and Emma Poyton, Dec 1856. Shoreditch, but no Joseph Monksfield and Emma Lyons.

So, was Emma Monksfield a Lyons before she married, in which case i cannot find the marriage reference.
Or was she Emma Poyton, in which case who is Esther Lyons?

I have looked for Poyton/Lyons marriages in case Esther remarried after having Emma, but no luck there.

Any thoughts?

Im using Internet explorer, but looking through settings i cant see anything that could be preventing me from replying. I guess i will just have to wait for Genes to get back to me!

Yes, im going to take a gamble on that Certificate...its possible that she has named a father on it (though my Grandfather lied about who his father was on his!)

Thanks again for your input, they are certainly not proving an easy family to trace!
