Do you know what Johns middle name was.

Chris

If you get the birth certificate of one of the children it will have the mother's maiden name on it, which will help in finding/confirming a marriage if you are having problems.

Marriages Jun 1864

Atkinson John ...Wakefield 9c 36 <<<<<<<<????????
Atkinson Sarah Wakefield 9c 36
Higgin Charles Hartley Wakefield 9c 36
Rawling Emma ...Wakefield 9c 36 <<<<<<<<<???????

Middle names are not always used at marriage.

Do you have census information where they are in the same household as any of Emma's family.
Do you have birth certificates for any of their children?

Gwyn

Are John and Emma together in 1871, and what is the name of their first child?

Ancestry is suggesting this marriage:
England & Wales Marriages, 1538-1940 about Emma Senior
Name: Emma Senior
Gender: Female
Birth Date: abt 1852
Age: 19
Father's Name: Benjamin Senior
Spouse's Name: John Atkinson
Spouse's Age: 22
Spouse's Father's Name: Thomas Atkinson
Marriage Date: 6 Mar 1871
Marriage Place: Wombwell, Yorkshire, England

I think one of the children's birth certs would be the best bet,

Maureen

The marriage Gwyn found in 1864 have John & Emma but she would have been c14yrs old ??????

Thankyou all I think the 1871 censusJohn is 22 is correct but why would they marry in Wombwell nr Barnsley when they both lived in Wakefield ??

I know there isn't a John on this 1871 BUT on Ada's baptism the address is given as "Bottom Boat" - is this family a connection to John?
