at Persue???Wheel Yard? - Half the word is mising but it IS Catherine Wheel Yard!!!
This is where Emma was in 1881 - after her marriage, and also in 1861 with parents and family.

Further proof, I believe !!!

Good morning Densirl,

Apologies again for my extreme lack of patience yesterday!

The only thing I failed to repost was the fact that I had discovered that William only had one wife called Eliza.

On re-examining the 1861 image, although he had a strange way of writing his numbers, I could see that the image actually gave her age as 46 NOT 26 so this means that it is the same Eliza!

This is Edward and his family, in case you haven't got it already:
