Sorry for not replying last night, I wanted to check details on the tree before replying, and I did look at your posts to find out why you were looking.
I am samuel's great granddaughter, my grandmother is Samuels youngest daughter born in 1917, however as she is still alive Unfortunately she has dementure so I am not able to find anything further from her about her father. I won't disclose any further information about her.
Samuel as you already know was born in Canfield, Bedfordshire, he went to America (I have found no recourds of his out bound or incoming journey.) but have been told he was about 18. He married Emma dockham over there and I think you have marriage details etc already.
They had Bessie over in America born in 1873, before there next daughter was born they came to the UK, (recently my grandmother told me Emma died on the boat, this I found was not true, this was during the on set of dementure and when I decided to stop asking any more family questions as they may not be accurate.)
Emma and Samuel had 5 more children and continued to live in Bedfordshire where Samuel was a sign writer, he also painted as my grandmother had one of his paintings. I have a copy of his address somewear on his buisness card at this stage he I think he lived in fenlake in Bedford, I can't find exact details at the moment.
Alice born 04/06/1875 - have no further info on.
Harry james born 10/03/1877 - no descendants I am await of.
Edith may born 02/05/1879 - has descendants I believe
Edwards william born in 17/08/1881 - has descendants
Eva Mary born 20/09/1883 died 12/12/1981 - has descendants
Bessie I believe went to northampton and became a domestic servant but I am not sure without checking that bit out again.
After Emma died as you know and in 1899 Samuel married Augusta Sarah Passey. They had the following children (just given you brief details as I have lots more on this side of the family but I unstandardised you are more interested in Emma's family.)
Lillian born 1899 not sure if this was samuel's daughter but am presuming it was as they were married the same year.
Conrad Cecil Anniston born 1900 died 1988
Augusta louise may born 1902 died 1955
Eileen cecilia born 1908 had 10 children
Samuel Richard born 1912 died 1933
My grandmother born 1917
(Augusta already had a son Alfred who was brought up as her brother)
Samuel and Augusta lived with my grandmother until, there death, Augusta died 14/11/1945 and Samuel a few days later on 29/11/1945. They are buried in Clifton road cemetery in rugby with there son Sam who died in a motorbike accident in 1933.
I believe Samuel was of good caricature from what my grandmother said.
Going back into Samuels ancestry I know his mother was Hannah Elizabeth arms or arns, this appears differently depending where you look.
His father James - I have not traced much more on his father that I can be certain of but I think his parents might have been William and susanna but the name is Solsbury so I need to investigate more.
The following I have researched and believe to be correct but have not confirmed dates or looked into certificates yet so they might not be fully accurate.
Hannah's parents I believe are James arms and Rebecca wildman.
James arms parents are Henry arms and Sarah (don't know surname)
Henry's parents are Thomas arms and Rebecca cambers.
Rebecca wildman's parents are John wildman and Catherine marrison.
That's all I have I will let you know if I find out more and if I confirm any of the uncertain bits. Please let me know if you have any more info I would like to trace the tree further if I can.
