The Common Room / Re: Missing 1910 Birth

Thank you all for your time and help. I'm definitely leaning towards an adoption of some sort myself.
Carole W, the 13 years is a bit of a giveaway that there may have been problems conceiving.
LM, The Chorley connection may be too far but not implausible. Although Emily's father was from Bristol and other Hitchins being this far north may rule it out.
Wivenhoe, All the info has come from my dad, Emma's son who has a very good knowledge of family information. plus all the Census records prove correct (as correct as 10 yearly records can be)
Carole W, the different name at birth is most likely. It happened a lot especially if the adoption was a young baby I suppose.
Garden Genie, Thanks for the 1921 Census info. I know they moved over to Wallasey and had the Fish and chip shop there. Mary Elizabeth might be a line to look at, thanks.
You have all been very helpful. My dad has tried many years ago to find her birth cert to no avail. There are so many more avenues to go down and use now that I'm still hopeful I'll solve this for him. When Emma married my grandfather she brought him to live in Wallasey, all his relatives lived in Liverpool. Her reason? She was quoted as saying "she always felt an affinity to Liscard"
Anyway, thanks again.
Ken.
