Emma Courtier (nee Nevill) 1871/5 Essex England

Mel Fairy Godmother Report 9 Sep 2021 18:25

I am trying to find when she came back from New York as a widow. I can find passages out and back in 1903 (3 years after her marriage to Emile Courtier) going back to New York and naturlizing papers in I think it was 1922 but not sure.

She is on the 1939 census on her own and died in Brentwood in 1951.

I have her probate to an uncle of mine.

Any help greatly appreciated thanks.

1939 is a register, not a census, therefore the information it holds is different

Which site is the source of the info you have posted?

It doesn't help that she gave 1871 for her birth on 1939 register, and 1875 on her passport application
