	Hi Keith, welcome to the boards - just realised you are new. Emma Shaw is on the 1911 census with grandchild Alice. She is a widow, but on the image it states she had been married 64 years, had 11 children but 7 had died. Obviously this shouldn't have been filled in so has been crossed out by the enumerator. Should help narrow down a marriage for her and John Shaw.

	Think this may be the right family for Selina, father John is a platelayer - but mother is Emily so maybe Emma is a nickname.

	@PricklyHolly Many thanks for info. It will take me some time to go through it all. I have particular interest in my G/father's Death details (Herbert Wilson) as it was an unusual death probably 1928 Waakefield????. I have tried to find the Coroner's report, but Wakefield Records say they are lost. :-( Any thoughts? Regards KB.
