Caroline Davis possibly Emery c 1874

[avm228]

Late to the thread, but I agree that the birth certificates may well be of interest- perhaps especially that of Carrie (1895), who was born in Stourbridge district where the Emery family was living in 1881/1891.  Did Caroline do what many first-time mothers did, and go back to her own mother for the birth of her first child?

I am delighted and intrigued by how much interest my problem has aroused.  Hopefully no lost sleep.
I have ordered the Civil Certificate for the 1893 marriage which is scheduled to come on Saturday. Have also ordered Sarah Annie's Birth Certificate too.

The many Why's
Why did the changed middle name of the signature go unchallenged at the time.( The style of the Capital "N" of Newmans suggest to me the writer was a confident writer)
Why did a different clergyman want to accept the reasons for changing an earlier document.
Why did the couple want to change the document.

The What Ifs could also carry one down a dark road.

Still Hopeful

From NormanE
It has just occurred to me that there might have been a Newspaper Report on the Wedding in 1893. Before starting a new thread does anyone know, what Newspaper would have covered the Wirksworth area and if there is an archive?

Find My Past and British Newspaper Archives show some reports from Derbyshire newspapers.
 They are both subscription sites.
Indexes show snippets which can sometimes help.
1893 indicates the inquest on the  ‘strange death of a child’ infant daughter or Alfred.
1895 Henry Udale, a youth, charged with an offence under the Vagrancy Act - gaming on a public footpath.

I wouldn’t think there would be a marriage report really but you can try.

Your other thread has got me looking again

If Caroline is the daughter of Joseph and Emma Emery those parents die in 1890s in Kings Norton.
This lends itself to be the right family because of the children’s births in K N.
However, I can’t see the siblings in marriages or deaths after the 1891 census.
I know we are looking for Caroline (I think) but maybe their disappearance is connected to hers 

I was hoping to find her sister Emily’s marriage. Caroline might have been a witness.

Thanks Mabel.

This looks to be the sequence

Joseph jr 1891 Stourbridge
Joseph snr 1894 Stourbridge
Carrie Udale 1895 Stourbridge
Emma, mother, 1897 Kings Norton
Sarah Annie Udale 1899 Kings Norton

I can’t see Charles T or Emily - siblings

A couple of newspaper snippets mention Joseph snr’s death on Christmas night, 1894.
