It looks very much as though Emily lied about her age...........in 1911, she was admitting to being TWO years older than her husband, but it should in fact have been TEN

And the lie was continued on her death reg'n..........

Morton Emily 43 Tynemouth 10b 394

hi flick ,sorry i got at you please forgive . you have just come up with the family 1871 i must have got my dates wrong ,i do know she died in 1918 or1919 the flu epidemic.emily was my grandmother she married a george morton in 1902 .i am now going to try and find their chilren ,thankyou for your help i may still get back to you for help please thankyou again mgt

Nothing to forgive...............

Delighted to be able to help.

But she did lie about her age! You didn't get her dates wrong - you gave us what you had been led to believe was the truth. So finding her was trickier than it needed to have been!

I've posted her death for you, and all the census info from 1871 to 1901.

Do you know what became of your father's sisters?

In case not, is this (perhaps) the marriage of one of them?
