I know that Emma Lythell married in Hull in the first quarter of 1881. She later gives her place of birth as Landbeach, Cambridgeshire c. 1861. I can find her on the 1871 census for Stretham, Cambs (RG 10 1602 p18) where she and her brother William are the "step daughter" and "step son" of the Sennett family. I can find a likely birth for William in 1856, but no birth for Emma. I can't work out a relationship between the Lythells and the Sennetts, who have children older than the Lythells so they are not from a former marriage.
Can someone save me from having to get the marriage certificate to find Emma's antecedents?

How can we be sure that Mary is Amelia? As well as Aurelia?
-
Aha! There's a marriage of a Mary Stukins to John Lythell in Ely in 1854.

We cant be sure but everything seems to add up.
Maybe she liked a much simpler name ;D

Fits with them marrying 09 Aug 1830 as posted earlier.
Now more confusion;

William/Sarah could be the Witnesses to this Marriage as Sarah would be the Sister of Amelia/Aurelia/Mary (or whoever she is!)

I'm confused (nothing new there!). Mary Stukins married John Lythell in 1854 in Ely. There's a Mary Stukins baptised 1825 in Coveney, parents William and Christiana, siblings Joseph and Robert. I can find a Mary Ann Stukins in Cambridge in 1841, with Joseph (the page is wrongly indexed on Ancestry but there seem to be no other Stukins's). I think there's nothing for it but to get Emma's birth certificate. Drat.
-
An update. I bought the birth certificate of Emma Lithell, born 5/12/1860 in Chittering Fen, Waterbeach. That fits with at least one of the censuses. But it seems that she was illegitimate. Mother Mary Lithell. I've tried the censuses (Emma married in 1881) and the IGI but can't find anything useful.
