ALBERT AND EMMA JEFFERY

[piscesPISCES2015]

I am the Great Grandaughter of Albert S Jeffery -
Born 1874 from Matlock Derbyshire and his wife -
 Emma Jeffery born 1873 also from Matlock Derbyshire.
All I Know is they lived on Smedley Street, Matlock and worked for Smedleys Hydro.
Albert S Jeffery was the Head Billiard Marker and Emma did unpaid house duties at Smedleys Hydro.
They had two sons Albert Edward Jeffery and Wilfred Jeffery and a daughter (my gandmother) Yolande Louise Crowder)- not sure if they adopted her.
I'm now stuck on my research.

Your Grandmother's mother's surname was Jeffery.

Marriage -

Edith V Jeffery
Spouse - Reginald W Crowder
q1 1921, Bakewell, Derbyshire
Vol 7b Page 1828

Edith died 1934, Derby.

Formal adoptions did not exist in England and Wales until 1927. Before that time adoptions were usually informal. As there is a link with the name Jeffery it could be that there was a family tie and that Albert and Emma took in Yolande once her mother died.
