Hi Chris,  Thank you. There's a few address I didn't know of.  William Johnson is Emmas' son-in-law, husband to her daughter Jane. I didn't know George Whiffen was at Walters Yard, I'll look into that. Charles Edwards is my great granddad and husband of Emmas' second daughter Louisa.  I do have a marriage for Emma Larkin to William George Burton, in Milton, Kent in 1893 but I have no idea if it is her as she seems never to have left Bromley.  Bromley library has been very helpful when I have been.  It was their help that we found out that my great grandparents had had 6 of their 7 children before they got married! I will go back again during my next break from work - hopefully their new hours will fit in, I'm not always sure at what I need to look at though.  I know that for Emmas' birth I have to go to Dartford.
Thank you for helping me,
Denise

Yes, I know  about Louisa.  She was on the census as Edwards but that wasn't strictly true.  She lived with Charles and they had 6 children but legally she was still Whiffen.  She didn't become 'Mrs Edwards' until 1908! My Dad was so shocked when he found out, he'd always thought of his Grandparents as being very 'proper'.  They married out of borough, I imagine that was because they had a shop on the high street and everyone thought they were already married! The things research turns up!  It's her mother Emma I am having difficulty with.  Seems as if she is still walking around Bromley.  I have found a death for an Emma Larkin in Maidstone, but I really don't know if it's her, will just have to wait and see what the 1921 census turns up I guess - a long wait.

Thank you Trish & Keyboard. Georges occupation was 'Groomsman'.  Louisa married Charles Edwards in 1908 after having a family of 6 children, their 7th was born in 1909. Louisa died in 1942.

Kent / Emma Whifen

I am looking for information on Emma Whiffen. She is my gt.gt. grandmother, born in Gravesend in 1841, her father is George Whiffen. She had two daughters seemingly out of wedlock Jane 181867 and Louisa 1872 both born in Bromley - Louisa in the workhouse. In 1876 she married William Larkin and had a son and daughter. That is all I know.  I haven't been able to find a birth or death record for her. If anyone knows anything about her I would be grateful. Thank you.
