Hi again, A big thank you to all that helped yesterday, but still need to know if any list 's for people that went abroad between 1892-1901. also list of people apart from census between 1892-1901. Thanks. Diane. x

Emma had one brother and two sisters i can find no trace of the brother untill 1901 he is 30 single and a boarder in some one's house. The sisters are both married but Emma is not with them in 1901. As for Edwin he was the eldest of the family, i will look at the others again to see if by 1901 any of them were married or living in the country it is worth a try, I still think there name would have come up tho, even if they were visiting. Diane.x

As I was searching through the districts, I noticed one page listed the following at an address: 'Gone on holiday to the country' Maybe this was your Emma and Edwin? lol Do you know if either of them had any brothers and sisters -maybe you could trace them through the census and see if Emma and Edwin are staying at relations? I know its a long shot, and I do apologise for being quite jolly and perky about your brick wall. My only excuse is that one of my brick walls (five years banging my head against it) has started to crumble in the last two days and so I am very happy :)

Sorry its taken a while to reply.... Edwin is listed in the 1891 census simply as E T Willoughby.... Name: Willoughby, E T Age: 30 Estimated birth year: abt 1861 Relation: Boarder Gender: Male Where Born: Rotherhithe, Surrey Birth Country: England Civil parish: St Paul Deptford Ecclesiastical parish: All Saints County/Island: London Street address: View Image Condition as to marriage: View Image Education: View Image Employment status: View Image Occupation: View Image Source information: RG12/503 Registration district: Greenwich Sub registration district: St Paul Deptford ED, institution, or vessel: 47 Folio: 146 Page: 2 (click to see others on page) GSU Number: 6095613 I realise this doesn't help much with your research - but at least you know where he was in 1891.

I don't think it is the family from Sussex as there are to many differences Name's age's, birth place's jobs. Edwin as all ways been listed as Printer born Rotherhithe why change that it don't add up. I still think that they either went abroad or never filled in the census that night this leads me back to were to look next. Any thoughts please Diane. x

Chacha Cha First of all just to ask where did you find Edwin In 1891 please. I am going to have a little look at the family you found in Sussex and will let you know what i think. As for there decendents i have found no children. I have a little information about two of Emma's sister ,as one was my gt grandmother. Hazel They could have had the child before thay married ??? I am going to look at all of the above now i will get back soon. Thanks for helping me everyone Diane x

hopefully the same couple in 1891 Emma is getting younger though!! BUT>>>They didnt marry until 1892....! so maybe that blows that theory! View Record Willoughby, Emma abt 1870 Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England Wife Eastbourne Sussex View Record Willoughby, Thomas abt 1863 Westham, Sussex, England Head Eastbourne Sussex

hopefully the mothers maiden name on this cert should prove or disprove Name: WILLOUGHBY, Thomas Reginald Record Type: Births Quarter: September Year: 1891 District: Eastbourne County: Sussex East Sussex Volume: 2b Page: 75

Bingo !!! here she is Dec 1868 Guildford 2a 69 Shirley

This may be a LONG LONG shot... but considering the ossible age of Emma...and that Edwins middle name is Thomas...... 1901 census Name: Thomas Willoughby Age: 38 Estimated birth year: abt 1863 Relation: Head Household: View other family members Gender: Male Where born: Westham, Sussex, England Civil parish: Eastbourne Ecclesiatical parish: Eastbourne All Souls Town: Eastbourne County/Island: Sussex Country: England Street address: View Image Condition as to marriage: View Image Education: View Image Employment status: View Image Occupation: View Image Source information: RG13/882 Registration district: Eastbourne Sub-registration district: Eastbourne ED, institution, or vessel: 18 Folio: 6 Page: 4 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 23 Also in household: William Honicett abt 1869 Brighton, Sussex, England Boarder Eastbourne Sussex Charles Willoughby abt 1896 Eastbourne, Sussex, England Son Eastbourne Sussex Emma Willoughby abt 1866 Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England Wife Eastbourne Sussex Frederic Willoughby abt 1899 Eastbourne, Sussex, England Son Eastbourne Sussex Thomas Willoughby abt 1863 Westham, Sussex, England Head Eastbourne Sussex Thomas Willoughby abt 1892 Eastbourne, Sussex, England Son Eastbourne Sussex I have searchd over 300 possibilities in 1901 for Emma and Edwin... I think you may be right, and they may have emigrated.... however.... what have you found out about their descendants...anything at all?

Have you seen this one Emma Elligett Dec 1865 Farnham 2a 69. Realise age is a little out ,but then they sometimes can be!! Farnham isnt that far from Guildford. Shirley

The census tell me he was born in Rotherhithe Surrey. Diane. x

I also could not locate a birth for Emma in 1868... but the marriage is definately there. I've traced Edwin in every census rom 1861-1891 inclusive... but still havng probs with finding him in 1901.... not giving up yet though :) lol

Yes Thanks Alice. Diane.x

you'll have the earlier census i guess - just for ref Dennis J Elligett abt 1868 Guildford, Surrey, England Son Friary Surrey Ellenor M Elligett abt 1870 Guildford, Surrey, England Daughter Friary Surrey Emma Elligett abt 1869 Guildford, Surrey, England Daughter Friary Surrey Maryann Elligett abt 1842 Tolkstone, Kent, England Wife Friary Surrey Michael Elligett abt 1829 Ireland Head Friary Surrey

It is the St olave i mentioned. As they were both living in the area. Emma was born Guildford Surrey but lived in Rotherhithe in 1891 Edwin Was born Bermondsey. Diane x

where were they born?? the marriage but cant even find a birth for her Name: ELLIGETT, Emma Frances Record Type: Marriages Quarter: September Year: 1892 District: St Olave Southwark County: London Surrey Volume: 1d Page: 533

Not sure whether this may be relevant or not.... but have you checked the other St Olaves'? There is one in Cornwal, another in Northamptonshire or Northumberland I believe..... I had a similar problem until I found out my relative was in St Olave Cornwall, not Southwark....lol.

Hello all, could someone give me some ideas of where to look next. I have a relative Born 1868 Emma Frances Elligett, who married Edwin Thomas Willoughby born 1860, they married in 1892 St Olave ( Southwark,London.Surrey). I have looked every where with all different combinations of spellings for the surname christen name's only, date of birth only birth place you name it i have tried it for about 2 years. I cannot find them. I would have thought that between 1892 and 1901 children would have been born but cannot link any to them. I realise that they may not been at home on census night. Was there any other kinds of list between census i could look at ? I cannot find a death for either of them and i have looked, cost me a pretty penny on 1837. Do you think that they may have gone abroad if so where do i look for lists of people who left between 1892-1901 ? what was the popular destination s at that time.? He was a Printer she was a Dress maker. Any thoughts would be gratefully appreciated. Regards Diane x
