Hi Catherine

I did find that death reg and wondered if it might be their Violet, hoped the 1911 might confirm it.

Thank You.

That's the correct family Dea but assume this means I cannot access the details on the census?

Hi Chris

Thank you for the marriage information. Is it possible to search the 1911 by address?

these are some of George and Maria/Ann's children and St stephens would be the most likely church they would have married in.

Well - there you go !!

G Emery is down on the enumerators list for 1911 census at 14 Field Street but this seems to be missing from the census transcriptions.

Hi All

All the other information is correct. Flora and Alfred Griffin were my ex-husband's Grandparents.

I did find Thomas Emery on 1911, married to Jane but unable to find any of the other children apart from Flora.

Hi Mike
Thanks for looking.
George Emery only had 1 brother, John, as father died age 25. Mother did remarry an Edward Hughes but I haven't followed up her family yet.
I am thinking that maybe the family was either mistranscribed or missed off the census. There are no deaths registered for George or Ann Maria between 1901 and 1911 and I don't think they emigrated.
Emery was quite a common name in Willenhall and Wolverhampton so maybe not the same Violet.
