Searching for Emma Tranter, born Emma Bowers – baptised 16th August 1839

Yes, thanks Comberton.

I'm afraid I don't recognise any of the names of people at No 51 - but the Lovegrove family (surname of one of the witnesses) lives next door. Interesting!

Long shot but I suppose there's a chance Emma was buried with her husband or in a family plot - do you know where Frederick was buried?  Or her parents?

Hi Milliepede,

Interesting thought - I haven't tracked down any of the graves - but it's a good further line of research.

Regarding Louisa's whereabouts in 1881 - I think I have located her at 10 Station Road, Ashby de la Zouch, as a Housemaid in the Smallwood household. Transcriptions give her age as 30 - but it looks like 20 to me. And she hails from Uttoxeter, Staffs - so I think this is my Louisa!

[Milliepede]

Oh well found, yes surely that must be her. 

[david1701]

Yes, I think this may well help in completing the story as far as Louisa is concerned - but unfortunately it doesn't get me any closer to tracking down Emma!

[Mabel Bagshawe]

She dies as Tranter in 1869

[Milliepede]

Oh that's an interesting discovery, if she was another child of Emma's it proves she was still alive in 1867 if nothing else.
