Hi Genes members wondering if anyone can look in Ancestry for a marriage, as I have looked in family search and Free BMD records and came up blank, the details are.
Emily Edith Augusta B Lishman born 1864 in Devonport Devon England. Her parents are John Rufus Lishman and Thomasine Emma Penfound ( maiden name ). I have her siblings, but cant find a marriage, I have looked for a death and still no answer, your help would be greatly appreciated

You're welcome ..... just thought I'd post that baptism as it came up when I was looking to see if I could find a probate record.

Unfortunately the baptism record doesn't give her birth date, but if you buy her birth certificate it will give you her exact date of birth, which will confirm, or not, if the 1939 record is her.

Phillimore Ecclesiastical Parish Map:

Have taken a look at the original record and it is noted at the side of this entry:-
Born Oct 28 1863 so 1939 record is her as same date of birth.

malyon ...........

I looked at that, but I don't think adult "Emily Lishman" are her ...... she seems to have adopted Edith as her usual name sometime before 1881.
