Thanks very much - but as previously mentioned in this thread - I do have Emily Jnrs birth cert and have already looked at Union Street and they're not listed.

Am I looking in the right place ?
I have found the 1871 census of Julius and his wife Margarette and children in St George Hanover Sq. but there isn't an Emily b 1863/4. Trying to see if they were with extended family or visiting in 1891

Yes, that's them Emily is Margarette

I have this family on the 51, 61 & 71 Census but not found on the 1881 or 1891.
I know that they changed surname to Smith sometime before Emily's marriage in 1883. So they could be Smith on 1881. I haven't yet looked for Emily (Margarettes) siblings marriages but that may also narrow down the window of when they changed name.

Appreciate your help - many thanks

So could it be from Margaretta (Emily) Scmidt to plain Margaret Smith ?????
I think Frederick A Scmidt is a dom serv. in Londons International college in 1881

I'm with you here - Margaret Smith (sorry to any out there but it sounds so unexciting) compared to Margaretta Emily Schmidt

She used Emily as her mother was Margaret

I’ll definitely look at the Fred in 1881 census

Many thanks again
