EMILY DEELEY born 1875

Marriage Jun 1909 Southwark

Brooks Elizabeth Mary A
Deeley William Joseph

Don't know if that is the right William Joseph but he was a cook and a little creative with the truth if census is anything to go by!

Hi there Millipede, I SO appreciate your help.  I "messed up" with sending you a PM just now, but want you to know how much I appreciate your time and effort to help me.  "Thank you" so much. 

Her birth name was Emily Lines, but she always went under the name of Emily Jones with her first "husband" and then she married William Joseph Deeley, so was officially Deeley at her time of death.

I LOVE what you found out about William Joseph Deeley being creative with the truth (made me smile a lot).  Which census was it ? LOL  Yes, I believe he was a cook !   So now, I'm wondering as to whether he was in fact married twice ! ?  Interesting.

Thank you to Rosie too.

Millipede, 

This is going off track about finding the burial place of my maternal grandmother Emily DEELEY (nee Lines and then "married" to Jones).....but I had to tell you that I had a lot of "fun" this afternoon trying to find out about Elizabeth Mary Ann Brooks, who you discovered had married my step grandfather William Joseph Deeley (my grandmother Emily's only "legal" hubby).

Didn't find too much about E M A Brooks, only what's on their marriage certificate, but it sure did "tickle me", so thank you.

If the marriage to Mrs Brooks (think she was a widow on the marriage) is to the same man then he married at least twice.

You could get the marriage certificate to Emily to see more about him - if he said he was widowed etc and confirm same father as the previous marriage.

Will look it up again but think father was Joseph **

Incidentally there is a family tree with Emily Lines on that has a picture of her and her daughter.

** Marriage 10 April 1909 St George The Martyr Southwark

William Joseph Deeley 34 bachelor cook 6 Nelson Place father Joseph deceased tin plate worker

Elizabeth Mary Ann Brooks 33 widow 6 Nelson Place father John Holbrook deceased blacksmith

By 1911 there is somehow a son 17 and a daughter 7 so I wonder where they came from 

[Milliepede]

Beginning to doubt myself now but pressing on regardless

1881 4 Alma Road Bermondsey

Joseph Deeley 36 tinsmith born Southwark
Martha 39 born Greenwich
William 6 born Southwark

[Milliepede]

Ok have found this one with widowed mother Martha is a cook so am wondering if there are two people or if the same one is in two places at once!
