Emily Simmons born abt 1868 Leeds

[Sally4x]

Please can someone look Emily up for me? I am struggling with finding her before her marriage to Tom Campey in 1901. On her marriage certificate her father is named as Joseph Simmons a tailor. She dies in 1926 aged 58. I can't find her or Joseph.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks so much. I was stuck because I had been using the 1868 birth record and the mother's maiden name didn't match. It's the 1866 one with mother Benson.
