Welcome to rootschat zed53.

I think reflector wants to make sure that Emma and Emily are the same person because the other Henry marries an Emily and reflector's Henry appears to pop over to Canada and return, with his wife using the name Emily in censuses after that 1884 wedding.

The information about the marriages from free bmd does not show who the father is, which is why reflector has said about the conflicting evidence.

Unfortunately we are not allowed to show the 1911 census like that, rootschat rules, so if you do not remove it a moderator will.  Similarly we cannot quote from it any details that do not show on the free version, so you cannot quote how long the marriage has lasted, which means we all hint but have to show other evidence.  I think once the opening poster has referred to it we are OK to use their information to discuss it.  Copyright rules are used in justification.

Hi, they have been married for about 26 by 1911 and both marriages about 1885   marriage to Emily Agnes Merrells the grooms father is Michael but 1884 to Emma Smith the grooms father is William an Organ builder this is my delemma because from then on all records show Henry Thomas with an Emily he is a furrier and to top it all he has a daughter Elizabeth Priscilla 1893 (sometimes recorded as Lizzy) and he had a sister who went to Canada with the same name. So as you say is Emma really Emily or did Emma die soon after marriage and he is just living with Emily .
AAAAAAAAG.

The other Henry Thomas was born on 22 Jan 1861 and baptised on 24 mar 1861 at Holy trinity Clapham, parents Michael and Emma. I've only found a transcription so far so don't know father's occupation.  So he's about a year younger than your Henry Thomas.
He should appear on 1861 census
