I was wondering if anyone may have a Fred, Harry and Ada in a family tree. All sibblings may have came from wolverhampton. Mothers name Emma (maiden name may have been white) could be a niece of my grandfather Harry White born 1879.Sorry to be so vague but this information came from part of a letter sent to my aunt in Australia some time durring the 1950's. My father knows very little about his parents family and he is now in his mid 80's. I know my grandfather had 3 brothers and three sisters (information from the 1881 census) I would be greatful for any info or advice. I thank you in anticipation, jacquie

I can't see any connection to those Patricia.ie different childrens name and ages of John and Emma seem way out.
John was about 1831
Emma about 1838.


The 1871 you posted has daughter Emma 1859 and daughter Emma 1867.
When you look at original Emma 1859 is a boy edward.
