Are you sure these are the same family? There is a 19 year difference in William's age and his occupations are different.

How have you got back to the family in the 1851?

Aw so both her children died I feel very sad when I discover children die so young thank you once again

do i take it that no one can find the birth of emma and the death of amy .. and no one has any ideas if they are the same person , but why would amy be baptised as amy which is confirmed and her name amy as mother on the births of her children and why would the marriage of emma in 1851 not be in the name of amy if these were the same people ?

ricochet yes that thread is mine but it was on a william morrison and cumbria archive search i had done not on amy /emma ... this is a different question on amy and emma if they were same person ....... i have given up on william as there is no more info to be found on him ..... the thread you hae placed on this post is nothing to do with amy / emma but thank you for remi9nding me of my other post
