Emma Pickering c1833 Wiggington

[Mansl]

My great great grandmother Emma Pickering parents Robert and Mary was baptised at Tamworth Parish Church on 20/8/1833.

I wonder if there is an image for Emma's baptism anywhere.

I am also trying to find Emma in 1841. I have got in my notes from about 15 years ago "aged 8 living in Meriden but nothing more(don't know where I got that from)and I can't seem to find her now.

I have her parents in 1841 living at Shustoke/Atherstone Robert aged 40 labourer and wife Elizabeth(I think is really Mary) and other children. HO107/1127/23 F7 P7.

I have Robert a widower in 1851 living at Hints. with his children. Emma in 1851 was 16 a servant living in Coleshill working in Shustoke for a Mr Britain.

I have found a death in 1849 Tamworth for a Mary Pickering which I thought was Emma's mother but now I can look on the GRO and the age says 34 which is 10 years out.

I can't see any burials in Tamworth 1849 for Mary Pickering

[Mansl]

I am just wondering if Mary died before 1841 and Elizabeth was his second wife in 1841 and not the mother of Emma.

Robert did marry a Mary Smith mother of Emma on 11/8/1822 at Polesworth.

The Pickerings in Warwickshire in 1841 are a completely different family.
Still in Shustoke in 1851

Tamworth Robert ought to have been in Wigginton in 1841, or somewhere nearby like Hints, as in 1851. They may be missing from the census

That is interesting, because I never kept the census images I only wrote down the folio back then and I do have question marks on the 1841 note. In those days at the records office on Ancestry you couldn't email the image back to yourself like you can now or maybe I didn't know enough about computing to do do it.

I used to have books and books of census's that I had wrote out but have shredded them all  now.

I don't keep written notes much nowadays.
