I am trying to find out what became of my Great Grandfather James Senior's sister who was called Emma Senior.
She was the daughter of Edward Senior and Mary Innis and was born in 1851 in Lanchester in Durham.
The last sighting I think I have of her is in 1871 when I think she may be living with a Margaret Grieveson in Gateshead. Emma is described as a cousin.
I don't know anything about the early life of Emma's Father Edward so I don't know about any siblings of his. I once tried to look up his marriage record at Durham archives but there were blanks for everyone's Fathers in the register where he married (All Saints, Lanchester). I was later told that it is the same on the marriage certificate. (All I know about Edward is that he was a gentleman farmer and then a publican of the Half Moon Inn in Durham. He appears to have been a man of means but I do not know where he got his capital from. However, when he died I don't think there was a will).
Emma's Mother was an only child.
I was just wondering if anyone out there may know what might have become of Emma, presuming that this is her on the 1871 census?
I would greatly appreciate hearing from you if you may know more or have any suggestions. I have been able to trace all her siblings - she is the only one who has me stumped.
