I think they were both born in Islington and Emma's maiden name has come from one of the childrens birth certs

Ok then...Emma died in 1858 and Henry died in 1865

Daughter Emma Wilkinson born 24/7/1846 Islington had a child out of wedlock Mary ann born 20/4/64 Marylebone where are they in 1871?

I have them after that when Emma married James Sims 25/12/1875 then the rest is history

Thanks Jan I think that could be them as nothing else seems to be coming up for them in 1871

Shame about the baptism and marriage :-(

Thanks everyone for trying...that branch will have to end there I think

Another question

I have just looked at deceased online and I have found Emma Wilkinson nee Owen buried in Islington in April 1858 I do not have her death cert and am just assuming this is her as she was not alive in 1861.

If I buy credits will it give me the details of age ect?

Now I am really confused :-S

Paid my money and looked at the 1858 one and it says she is 40 so would make her born 1818

The one I think is Henry 1865 gives age as 57 so now he is born 1808 which I suppose could be right

As they are both there I am sure it must be them

Sad thing was Henry was now in a workhouse and the address for Emma is not one that the family lived in on the census's...but they did seem to move around every five minutes as have I in the last 10 years lived at 9 different address's :-D

I saw the 1856 one but that is not listed on there

I dont suppose there would be a proper grave for them to look at :-(

Thanks Chris dont know how I missed that

Anyway I can rule that one out she was 4 days old so I would imagine the Emma who died in1858 is the one now as first thought

Not a problem Chris at least I now know it is not that one.

I am finding a fair few of my ancestors on both sides of the family on there, but will have to stop myself looking if I defenatly know its them.

I bought £19 worth so 13 searches...I know it will not last long but interesting to find out an ancestor was in the workhouse...now I should get the death cert to make sure, but if he died there I doubt whether any of his children registered it
