Hi everyone.

Just wondering if any of you might be kind enough to cast your eyes over this one.

I have an Emily Elizabeth Eccleston in my tree, baptism is below:

Name: Emma Elizabeth Eccleston
Baptism Date: 8 Dec 1861
Baptism Place: Birmingham, Bishop Ryder, Warwickshire, England
Father: William Eccleston
Mother: Susanna Eccleston
Reference Number: DRO 30
Archive Roll: M1

Her mother died at the end of 1870, which might explain why she is with her sister 1871:


1871 England Census

Name: Emily E Evelerton
[Emily E Eccleston]
Age: 9
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1862
Relation: Wife Sister (Sister-in-law)
Gender: Female
Where born: Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
Civil Parish: St Marylebone
Ecclesiastical parish: All Souls
Town: London
County/Island: London
Country: England
Registration district: Marylebone
Sub-registration district: All Souls

James White 24
Mary Ann White 23
Roland White 1
Emily E Evelerton 9

After this, I can't find any trace of her. She is not with any family members 1881 as far as I can tell, and I can't see a marriage or death.

I'll put the rest of the family on a 2nd posting,to make it a bit less cluttered.

Many thanks!

Sorry, meant to add - I realise that the name is different (Emily and Emma), but as I am 100% certain that Mary Ann is the daughter of William and Suzanne Eccleston, I have gone with the theory that this is the same girl.
Can't find her either way!!

There were TWO Emma Elizabeth Eccleston's born in Warwickshire in the period 1861 to 1864


Births Mar 1862 (>99%)
ECCLESTON Emma Elizabeth Birmingham 6d 145

Births Sep 1863 (>99%)
ECCLESTON Emma Elizabeth Birmingham 6d 75




I can't see a birth registration on freebmd for an Emily Elizabeth ........

.......... but it looks as though yours is the first Emma, registered in March quarter 1862 ..................... but apparently born in December 1861 and baptised before she was registered :-)

Many thanks for your replies Elizabeth & Sylvia, and I apologise for not getting back sooner.
For some reason, I didn't find the 2 births, silly me. I am thinking that makes my quest high on impossible really.
My Ecclestons are a troublesome bunch so you might be hearing from me again!
Thanks again.
