Where is Emma's daughter?

[Milliepede]

She wouldn't be a widow in 1901 though would she?  William is still alive after that (if this Ann was his wife)  It's all disheartening

You are correct when you say she would not be a Widow in 1901 as William is still alive.
This line of enquiry is proving as hard as that of finding Annie Lee where it all started. They are out there somewhere and I am hopeful that in due course they will be found.

I've been looking for a chap for 10 years but can't quite give up the search.  As you say they are out there somewhere. 

Can I ask what relation Emma/Annie are to yourself?  If Emma didn't have any children from her marriages I guess you aren't directly descended from her 

[wdytya]

I am descended from her older brother Christopher. I have found the other two siblings families but Emma and Annie are my brickwall. I am hoping that Emma is the mother of Annie and that Annie married and there are a long line of family members.

[Milliepede]

I see thanks.  I don't suppose Christopher or the other siblings had a witness at their wedding called Annie something?  That would be a gem to follow up. 

No silly suggestion the marriages would be too early for Annie

Haven't tried this myself but is it possible to order a birth stipulating the mothers name must be Emma or do you have to stipulate a fathers name?  Someone will know.

Anybody know the answer to this question.

If you want to order a certificate without a GRO reference, they say you can ask for a search
You are required to supply
1. Surname at birth
2. Forename(s)
3. Date of birth (dd/mm/yyyy)
"If you do not know the exact date enter 01/01/xxxx, we will search the specified year and one either side"
4. Place of birth

You then have the option of filling in other specifications
Father’s/Parent’s surname   
Father’s/Parent’s forename(s)
Mother's maiden surname   
Mother's surname at time of the birth   
Mother's forename(s)

So you shouldn't have to give the name of a father, no.

Many thanks for the information. Given her parents were married in 1866 but on the census she is 8 so born 1863 I will have to order two certificates.
As I know her fathers name, but searching for her with a mother named Emma, should I include the fathers name or leave it out?
