If Emma was b 1842/3 - she would have been 64 in 1907.  Had she been previously married?

Can't find her on the 1851 (probably part of the missing 1851 census) but in 1861 Henry (b 1820) & Judith (1818) have children aged 6,4 & 7mths so likely she was b 1842/3 but was only baptised in 1852

Blimey, I never saw that  I'll check it out.  Many many thanks Carole xx

Are there any ages on that 1907 marriage cert?  If Emma was b 1851 onwards she should be on the 1861 with parents. 

If b 1842/3 she seems rather old for a first marriage

I think the birth year is 1852, not 1842 - therefore Emma won't be on the 1851 Census.

Here she is on the 1861 Census:
1861 Census – 49 Commercial Road, Lambeth, Surrey
John Clare   Head   38   c.1823   Carman   Lancashire
Lydia Clare   Wife   38   c.1823      Lancashire
Emma Hughes   Niece   9   c.1852      Lancashire

Lydia Bryce (Emma's mother is Judith Bryce) married John Clare
