More tidbits.

The wife of John Frawkins in 1861:

Name: Anne Frawkins

Estimated Birth Year: abt 1811
Relation: Wife
Spouse's Name: John
Gender: Female
Where born: Thorngumbald, Yorkshire, England

is Anne Frokingham in 1881:

Name: Ann Frokingham
Age: 71
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1810
Relation: Head
Gender: Female
Where born: Thorn, Yorkshire, England
Civil Parish: Thorngumbald
County/Island: Yorkshire
Country: England

Condition as to marriage: Windower (Widower)

So you might want to look for descendants under that name.

You can search FreeBMD and the censuses for surname

Fra*ingham
Fro*ingham

for instance.

If you search trees here at GR you will find that GR member Martin has all these people in his tree:

Emma 1839 Burton Pidsea, Yorkshire
Charles 1836 Burton Pidsea, Yorkshire
Mary 1834 Buton Pidsea, Yorkshire
Jane 1827 Burton Pidsea, Yorkshire
William 1825 Burton Pidsea, Yorkshire
Robert 1823 Burton Pidsea, Yorkshire
John 1806 Burton Pidsea, Yorkshire
John 1805 Burton Pidsea, Yorkshire
John 1804 Burton Pidsea, Yorkshire

and others. Mary, Charles and Emma appear to be the children in the 1841 household of the Emma you think to be yours.

I would certainly contact that person!

I wonder whether this is mother Jane's death (possibly before the 1851 census and registered later):

Deaths Jun 1851
Frohingham Jane Patrington 23 46

-- searching FreeBMD for any events for

fro*ingham

And perhaps father John -- or more likely the John married to Anne:

Deaths Sep 1867
Frokingham John 62 Patrington 9d 170

This looks like the death of the John, born in Burton Pidsea, who was in London in 1871 (too young to be your Emma's father, born circa 1821):

Marriages Mar 1872 (>99%)
FROCKINGHAM John Chelsea 1a 324

Editing: stupid me, that's a marriage. Related somehow, one would think.

The name shifts geographically in later years:

Births Sep 1895
Frokingham Ruth Sculcoates 9d 251

Marriages Sep 1924
Frokingham Ruth Myers Hull
MYERS Sidney Frokingham Hull 9d 679

Births Mar 1930
Myers Charles S Frokingham Bridlington 9d 563


There are 9 Frokinghams in the 1901 census (barring mistranscriptions).


In Sculcoates:
Alice Frokingham 8
Dora Woodall 4
Elizabeth Woodall 34
Hilda Woodall 15
Jessie Woodall 3 months
John Woodall 35
John Woodall 1
(A blended family by remarriage, it seems)


In Holy Trinity:
Charles Frokingham 32
Margaret Frokingham 29
* Ruth Frokingham 5


In Sculcoates:
Charles Frokingham 65
George H Frokingham 21
Mary Frokingham 62
Thomas Frokingham 34
William Frokingham 26


The father of Ruth's father Charles, in the 1871 census, is:


Name: Charles Frokingham
Age: 35
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1836
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Mary
Gender: Male
Where born: Burton Pidsea, Yorkshire, England
Civil Parish: Southcoates


That would seem to make him your Emma's older brother -- that is, the great-grandfather of Charles Myers born in 1930 was your Emma Frockings' brother Charles.

If Emma Frokins in 1841 is your Emma.

Any thoughts there, Dean?

Dean says thank you by PM!
