Yes that is correct when John Steptoe died in 1911 his son John went to live with Charles & Sophie Andrew
as he was only 15 I suppose he met his future wife as they would have seen alot of each other

Can you say what you know and what you want to know.

It's very confusing hun for us that know 'nothing' of your family or your wants and needs

Well I cant find any of the Steptoes in 1911 or 1901 nor can I find Emma...
Nor can I find Emma before 1891 if that is her on 1891...

Nor can I find a birth for that name or date on ...freebmd for Emma Elizabeth.

But there is this
