Find Ancestors

Emily is at home in Frome in 1851 Grope Lane Frome and 1861 Wiltshire Buildings Frome with her family. After that I CANNOT positively identify where she is. I find no death that fits after that.. and I have checked best I can for mispellings [often with this name] for other marriages, and discounted them...as I found suitable birth names to match.

I have traced most of her siblings, and aunts, and she is not at home with them.

I cannot find a baptism for her in Frome, but her birth ref. seems sure, between two siblings, and matching census.

Suitable marriages might be Emily Brimson, Warminster, Wilts 1869 to Parson or Haines. Charles Hansford Parsons seems to have a baptism in 1849 at Witham Friary, which gives his age.

She is not Emily LOUISE Brimson married in 1878 to Edward Densham, as her father is STATED as Edward Brimson.

There is an Emily Brimson marriage in 1885,1886, but I CANNOT find her in 1871 and 1881.

Any ideas, help please.

Thank you folks, this is the parents,
So it looks like the correct marriage.
I don't know why I could not find the 1871 census. I will try to trace her history now, and possibly any children.

Is it possible to use Genes Census search, searching with others in the household? How?

Thanks Gritty, so she is living apart from hubby?
Chris's research.. Thanks for effort.. Sorry didn't mention that other Susan and her child before in workhouse.. She was some sort of cousin, and not Susan wife of Richard, although her child was also Emily.

Thanks for 1881.. See now my problem. Charles appears to be living with his sister ??? And his father Joseph too. And there is a 3 year old son. Brilliant!

They must have been desperate, poor things. Emily's mother died in1860 or 70 I forget, doesn't matter, and her dad lived until 1905. He married again in the 1870s.

Thank you thank you...

Have a nice day Chris. :-)

Prickles. x

Brilliant help, thanks, thanks.

I just need to get out of my onesie and I will be back.

:-D

I am trying to find Herbert/Francis in the 1901 census.... but not having any luck so far.
