Now, Emma is described as a sister to Richard HICKS in 1861 - but more likely she is actually Richard's wife's sister, as they have the same pob (Capel).

I have recently started looking into my family tree again and I have hit a brick wall with the Tapp- Burgess line. I cannot find any information on John Tapp married to Emma Towner in 1851. I assume that he died or Emma divorced him as she married again in 1856 to James Burgess. I cannot find a mother for Emma Towner born 1829 Capel, Kent, and her sister Eliza Towner born 1826 Capel Kent either. Their father is down as William Towner. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
