Hi
We have seen a certificate of Henry's 1886 that confirms Henry Emmerson b Nottingham was his farther, now my granddad when he was alive remembers grand parent/uncle named Pick which leads me to believe Pickering Emmerson b1823 Nottingham was his dad? m to Ann Tomms? just need to prove/disprove this.

Do you have the birth certificate? Is it possible that Henry was the illegitimate child of Matilda Emmerson (the daughter of Pickering Emmerson?)

I would assume this is the same man- there are several entries some 21st October and some 31st October- born Nottingham:

Looking at the distorted image image, it gives father as William:

Hi
We have seen a certificate of Henry's 1886 that confirms Henry Emmerson b Nottingham was his farther,

Yes, Chris- need to know if he has the actual certificate.

Pickering Emmerson's parents do have a grandson Henry with them on the 1861 & 1871 census which I presume is the one he's trying to link?-

1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
7, Crocus Street, St Mary, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England

Jonathan Emmerson Head Married Male 62 1799 Labourer Nottingham, Nottinghamshire,
Sarah Emmerson Wife Married Female 63 1798 - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire,
Jonathan Emmerson Son Unmarried Male 28 1833 Carter Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
Sarah Emmerson Daughter Unmarried Female 25 1836 Seamstress Nottingham, Nottinghamshire,
Matilda Emmerson Daughter Unmarried Female 21 1840 Seamstress Nottingham, Nottinghamshire,
Henry Emmerson Grandson - Male 2 1859 - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire,
-----------------------------------------

I think this is the Henry that married Ann Foster and had this son Harry (Chris posted the 1891 census & 1901 census earlier):

EMMERSON, HARRY mmn FOSSER
GRO Reference: 1886 S Quarter in NOTTINGHAM Volume 07B Page 361

If you don't have the birth certificate, getting it will give you his exact date of birth and then you'll know if it's the same one that married Caroline Steer.
-------------------------------------

Possibly Harry senior's death (he was recorded as deceased on Henry jnr marriage):

Name: Harry Emmerson
Estimated birth year: abt 1859
Registration Year: 1897
Registration Quarter: Apr-May-Jun
Age at Death: 38

EDIT: Sorry Chris, just seen that you also posted this death.

Thanks for your work, it does look like my Henry is the son of Matilda, little confused with the Harry bit? any news on the farther? will have to try get the birth record.

Andy

Andrew- Harry and Henry are often interchangeable.

It's definitely not the son of Harry/ Henry Emmerson and Ann Foster- he died in the US:

Name: Harry Emmerson
Gender: Male
Race: White
Age: 87
Birth Date: 4 Jun 1886
Birth Place: England
Death Date: 17 Sep 1973
Death Place: Ft Wayne, Allen, Indiana, USA
Marital Status: Widowed
Father: Harry Emmerson
Mother: Annie Foster
--------------------------------------------------------

So this is the birth certificate you need to confirm mother:

EMMERSON, HENRY -
GRO Reference: 1886 D Quarter in NOTTINGHAM Volume 07B Page 363
------------------------------------------------------

I suspect Henry was the illegitimate son of Matilda (as said before, you'll need the cert to confirm), but brought up as the son of Matilda's brother, William.

William and his wife/ partner Rebecca had been together a long time and only had one daughter Mary/ Polly:

(just to add, that 1889 Birth from other 'Thread' was son of below, checking GRO)
