Wow!  Thank you so much avm!  I did not expect to get all this good fortune this afternoon!  I do appreciate this so much.

Yes, Jen I think the 1871 Emma is likely not my one now.  As you can guess, I have hardly been able to keep pace with my replies to all these helpful posts.

It seems like William must have been quite comfortably off to leave all these bequests!

Martin James Wilkinson (manufacturer) was the husband (marr Ealing 5 March 1839) of Louisa Elizabeth nee Senior, daughter of William Humble Senior who presumably was William & Isabella’s eldest son William.

I wouldn’t write off the 1871 Emma just yet.  The family did have a Lanchester connection, and cousin Margaret may not have had precise knowledge of Emma’s birthplace when the household schedule was filled in.

With Grieveson and Innis both being Scottish surnames, I wonder whether any link is in the maternal line.

atm - As you can tell I can hardly keep pace with your posts!  I am sitting here reeling!  I have had quite a long tiring week at work but the information today which you have sent has given me a huge lift. 

I did not expect to receive such a gift today - to find so much out about Edward's family!  I am so excited and thrilled and can't thank you enough!!  Amazing finds!  As I say, I can't wait to share all this with my family.

Many, many thanks to you and all who have sent helpful posts on this thread!

Yes, you're quite right. Interestingly, given Emma's father's trade, in 1871 Margaret Grieveson was a publican, and in 1881 is living (just up the road from me) in Alston, with her son in law and daughter, the former being a Master Brewer

I will take on board this advice and not rule out the Margaret Grieveson link. 

In my previous research I have found that Emma's maternal Grandparents were William and Mary Innis.  William seems to have had a pub in Durham called 'The Bluebell'.

Many thanks.
