            Are you absolutely sure these women were siblings, and not just "grandchildren" - i.e. different mothers?

            Yes, I do have a story of one side being obliterated from family memory, due to a messy divorce in the 1930s. I didn't even know this side of the family existed until I started doing family history. When I questioned my dad, he said "Oh, we never had anything to do with them". Dad's relative was the innocent party in the divorce!

                Are these the births you have for Emily and Kate?

                Births Jun 1876
                Stephenson Kate Holbeck 9b 375

                Births Sep 1876
                STEPHENSON Emily Holbeck 9b 359

                If so, you might do well to get the certs, because they're too close together to be sisters.

                      Looking at the 1881 & 91 census I'd say Lilian was the daughter of William's unmarried daughter Emily born ca 1853. Her birth cert would of course confirm her parentage

                      Births Dec 1877
