I always feel really nervous when I post for help - bit like taking an exam!!:D
Here goes....
My GGGM was Emily Lucking - married 28/1/1861, father George a gardener.
On 1861 she was living with her huband in Mile End Old Town and she is shown as bc 1839, pob Hilfield Essex.
On all subsequent census she lived in Limehouse and pob given as just Essex, Hatfield Peverel Essex or Maldon Essex.
Her eldest son b 1863 is shown as being born in Hatfield giving credence to a family connection there.
On 1851 I could only find one Emily that fit - spelt EMLEY age 12, b Hatfield with father George bc 1814, farm labourer, mother Elizabeth bc 1811 & three siblings. They were living at 133 Nounsley Green, Hatfield Peverel.
Found the same family on 1841 where she is shown as Amelia, they are living in Witham, Hatfield Peverel. Father George is an ag lab.
I can trace this family up to 1901 and on 1891 the father Georges trade is a Groom & Gardener but I still do not have that YES factor that this girl is my Emily. There are lots of Luckings in that area, just to complicate it more!
I have the birth cert of EMLEY but there is no trade for her father and the address is just 7 P M, Hatfield, so no help there.
Have I missed something please - have looked at this so long I can't see the wood for the trees - or the relly in the records!:D Is she mine?
PS normally I type up my query and then realise I have answered my own question - sorry, not this time! Lol!
