Emma Mary Fleming Christchurch
« on: Thursday 02 February 06 14:11 GMT (UK) »
Is  there somewhere I could find infomation on Emma Mary Fleming
 born Galway Ireland Her mother was E.M. Fleming

On my grandmother birth certificate  it says Emma Mary was living in Madras St Christchurch in 1886 when she gave birth to my grandmother Elizabeth Sarah. She was aged 21 The father was UNKNOWN   Occp Mariner.
This is all I know   Grandma never told anyone she was illigitimate The Shame!

I would really  like to know what happened to  Emma Mary Fleming
Did  she marry ?
Did she appear on a shipping list.
Did she go back to  Ireland Was my grandmother adopted out.?

My father never knew of a grandmother.

Any info  possible

Hi there,

Checked the marriages for you,

Found none for Emma Mary Fleming

Located the following as possibilities

Year   1907
Folio   6052
Surname   FLEMING
Given Names   Emma
Sex   F

Is this one your grandma's, maybe the marriage cert may shed some light?

There are several FLEMING in CHCH in 1881 & 1893 Elec Roll, none at that address. Would you like these in case they are related? 12 pages of Fleming burials at CHCH cemeteries online.
