  • Emmeline ?

    I have Charles Hemming, born abt 1808 in North Littleton, Worcs on the 1851 and 1861 censuses with wife Emmeline (alternative spellings are available, like Emmiline) born abt 1814 and various children, the eldest of whom was born about 1836. Charles died after the census was taken in 1861, and I have her in the 1871, 1881 and 1891 censuses before she died in 1894, but can't find her in the 1841 census.

    I've looked for a marriage between Charles Hemming and Emmeline (maiden name unknown), until I've gone cross-eyed, so wondered if anyone here can find something that I can't.

    According to various census records for Emmeline she was born at Marlcliff, which is between Bideford on Avon (in Warwickshire) and Cleeve Prior (in Worcestershire). Cleeve Prior is the next village along the road (in the opposite direction from Marlcliff) to North Littleton, so they're all within a five mile radius.

    In an ideal world, I'd like to find her maiden name, their marriage and the family in the 1841 census, but I do realise that this is not an ideal world.

    And an unfortunate side effect of all this is that I can't get that Hot Chocolate song "Emma, Emmaline .... " out of my head.

    HELP ME! Please help me!

      Thanks Elaine.

      I'm wondering if the 10yr old is a "Maria", although it's hard to make out the writing, who, by 1851 had died (because she's not with the family).

      Or, on second thoughts, had moved away for work.

        Would agree it's Maria. She may have left home by 1851 as she would be 20 by then, maybe in service somewhere?

          Even though I've widened the dates search back to 1825, I still can't find a marriage.

            The problem is it may not be available online.
            A birth certificate of one of the children would give you mother's maiden name, which might help the search but would also verify that you have the right one when you fnd it!
