hi polly, had a wee look at your post and the best i can come up with is

1841 census: larg mains, inch

caleb emerson...age 20...draper...born ireland

1841 census: charlotte street, stranraer

Elizabeth emerson...age 40...ind...born wigtownshire
elizabeth emerson...age 14...born england

i am going to add the 1851 census in the hop that someone else may be able to help.

1851 census: mc culloch place, inch

elizabeth emerson...head...age 53...annuitant...born stranraer
elizabeth emerson...dau...age 24...born england

they have a servant in the household

the 1861 census says that there is no emerson's living in the wigtownshire area.

so i assume that caleb and elizabeth were in england for the birth of their daughter and that he went back to england or being irish and young he went back to ireland.

with a name like caleb i do not think he will hide for ever in the censuses

happy hunting

yes it is possible
but it is hard when i don't know what ship he was on or where he was any ideas on how i can find out
rhave hit a brick wall except for the archives at kew in surrey where they are supposed to have all sorts of information on the navy  but you can only access from attending facility bit hard from australia and it cost money for a reseacher to do so and i am on a pension so i thought rootschat might give me some ideas thanks for your help dave
