Hi as you have seen or can readily view the 1881 census, then Emma was a Widow when she married William Siggers as Emma Sarah Drane June qtr 1870 St Saviour 1d 727, one of the stepchildren was a Sophia Drane christened Sophia Amy Drane 1st January 1858 St John, Bethnal Green, Marriage Henry Drane to Emma Sarah Palmer 9th May 1854 St George Camberwell her father was a Joseph Palmer occ Cordwainer

Well done, Keyboard86.
Emma Sarah Palmer baptised 30 Jun 1837, St John the Evangelist, Lambeth, parents Joseph and Sarah; Joseph was a shoemaker. I think they lived in Union Street.

Are you descended from this couple, or are you wanting more information just on Emma? I assume you have her later details and death.

Well done, Keyboard86.
Emma Sarah Palmer baptised 30 Jun 1837, St John the Evangelist, Lambeth, parents Joseph and Sarah; Joseph was a shoemaker. I think they lived in Union Street.

Think the mother of Emma Sarah Palmer was a Sophia as just checked baptism for address as family 1841/51 are hard to spot?!
Seeing the baptism was at St John's a possible marriage of a Joseph Palmer to Sophia Smith 23rd January 1832.

Also Emma in 1861 aged 26 Widow occ Mangler b Westminster? with Henry 2 b Bethnal Green and an infant daughter 3 weeks I believe the daughter was a Charlotte Grace Drane who poor girl was born and died June qtr 1861 Hackney, within the household is who I believe is the mother of Henry a Catherine Drane aged 54 Widow b Bethnal Green
Census Ref RG09/183/9/18

In 1871 Emma/William Sigger have as one of the stepchildren a Willie b 1867 Bermondsey, he appears to have been registered as Willie D???Nex Drane June qtr 1867 Bermondsey 1d 92 he appears as a Sigger in 1881 above, where he goes from the 1881 and under what surname I do not know!
1871 Census RG10/632/110/34

To Keyboard 86 and Pine family.
Thank you so much for the information it is fantastic I did not know where to expand the family tree with regard to Emma. she is in my family tree and I am trying to get back as far as I can. the only info I had on Emma was what I mentioned at the start. I do not know her date of death. Thank you again for all your help.

  Hi glad to help, but Emma 1841/51 and what looks to be an illegitimate birth of William D Drane 1867 Bermondsey, as it would appear Emma is a Widow in 1861?
Sophia aged 3 b Bethnal Green in 1861 is with an Ormond Rehead Delve who married a Charlotte Drane. Sophia is shown as Niece, I have more but will let you digest our findings!

PS so just who is your direct ancestor?

There are two not very well sourced trees on ancestry that have Willie Dimmex Drane b 1868 Essex died New South Wales in 1945, with a wife b 1900
