Hello, I have a big brick wall. my 2 x great aunt Rosa married a John Briscoe (of whom I can find nothing). They had a daughter Emily born 27 Oct 1856 in Denbigh Street London SW1. She died in an asylum in 1925 (Canterbury, Kent). A shot in the dark but I think John and Rosa would have married around 1856. I can find nothing in the 1861 census. However in the 1871 census onwards she is the Head of the House, in the 1911C she is living in Hampstead through her own means.
I have scrolled through the IGI and can only find Emily's christening details (she was christened on 31 Oct 1858 (sic) - possibly a typing error, at St Anne's Soho, Westminster England. Rosa left about £6000 when she died in 1918 in Hampstead so it certainly looks as if she married into money.
If anyone can help I would be grateful. You have helped me so much in the past when I have got stuck.
Kind Regards
SPARHAM
