Who was Emma Lythell?

[trish1120]

We cant be sure but everything seems to add up.

Maybe she liked a much simpler name

1871 Census Mary Sennitt is born c 1836 Wardy Hill which fits with Baptism.
1881 c 1834 Coveney

John STUKENS Married  Elizabeth MARTIN 09 Aug 1830 Coveney (FreeREG)
Has Witnesses names.
Siblings of Aurelia are on FreeREG are;
JOHN 22 Jan 1832
WILLIAM 02 March 1834


This is interesting;

Eliza SUT, 1, Daug

Someone has corrected name to LUTT for Elizabeth and Eliza

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.
