Trying to trace Emily Shephard

[BUZZ]

It's a long time since I posted on this topic, it's in the completed section and I have no idea how to take it out of there.

I have since found that on the 1911 census Emily now married to my Grandfather Alfred Burrows(they married on the 11/2/1906 at St. Pancras, Emily's Father's name is Charles and he is a Costermonger Emily states her age is 21) ,states that she is 25(so she has aged 4 years in 5 years) and was born in Islington, according to records at her death on the 28/3/1971 she was born on the 19/12/1884. There is a birth for an Emily Catherine Shepherd first quarter1885 in Islington. Almost 5 years ago I was going to purchase this birth certificate but put in a checking point that the Father's name was Charles. The sheet was returned saying that this was wrong so I never purchased it. I am now wondering if this is the correct birth but the Father's name was not Charles. Can you purchase birth certificates at Islington Town Hall?

Also on Alfred and Emily's marriage certificate, it states that they are both living at 19 Barclay Street, St. Pancras prior to the marriage in 1906 I had thought that they may be living with Alfred's parents but this is not the case as they were living close by, in the 1901 and 1911 census at 6 Johnson Street, St. Pancras. If I went to the the Camden archives, which I believe are in Holborn, would they have registers which state who was living at which address in 1906?

Could anyone give me any other tips to help me find the true identity or whereabouts of Emily on the 1891 and 1901 census.

How sure are yuo of the father's name

Here's an option if it is Charles, from school admissions

Emily Shepherd, aged 7
Date of birth: 3 Apr 1883
date of Admission:  26 Jan 1891
Cottenham Road School
Borough:    Islington
Parent:    Charles

Address 62 Kingsdwon Road

Have found Alfred John Burrows on the electoral register of 1906 at 6 Johnson St. Only other person listed is a John Patrick

[Mabel Bagshawe]

1909 has Alfred, a John Clark and a George Stevenson at that address. Mr Stevenson may be the landlord as he has another address listed on his entry

Taking up the info on the school admissions register: in the 1891 census, 62 Kingsdown Rd, Islington was occupied by a Charles Schaffer (37, farrier, b Islington) and family, including an 8 yr old daughter Emily, also born Islington.

The other family at the address was that of a John Hibbert.

RG12/149/9/13.


Could Shepherd/Shephard have been an Anglicisation of (or alias for) Schaffer?

There's an Emily in 1901 born Islington parents Charles and Emily but she is older born 1882 so

i think that emily schaffer married in 1904 to a charles thomas mathews her father is down on the marr cert as charles schaffer occ ; blacksmith which would tally with occ farrier(shoes horses)
so this cannot be the right emily

Thank you all for your replies, lots of information.

The Baptism from Eyesee must be the birth that I quote and is a possibility, although the father's name is wrong.

The school admission from Mabel is very interesting although the date of birth is different to the one I have, but then is ruled out by Wozzle.

And then there is the entry from Milliepede which is also very close to the details I have.

The reason I don't rule any of them out is other than Emily's details on her marriage certificate, I have nothing else to go on. Two of Emily's daughters are still alive  but did not  know either of her parents names and did not know the year she was born. One of her older children must have completed the death certificate.

The other reason that I thought that Charles could be the correct name is that Emily and Alfred's first son was named Alfred Charles.

Thank you all again for the information.
