Chris - yes, Susan Gertrude is my Gt Grandmother

Choccy - 1891 census - I'd missed that a Stepfather and cousin was listed. On 1911 census there is a Katherine Sarah but she is listed as daughter not a cousin and down as King not Dacres. I'm wondering if this is the same family or not because I'd always had Emma c. 1852 down as being born in Islington but then on 1911 census there is an Emma (with similar details/family) but down as being born in Bristol

All very confusing ... I'm new to this ... and am finding this one a bit of a tangle :-)

You definitely need a birth certificate.
The one posted for Susan looks the only likely one for your great grandmother.
I was trying to find Celica-1883, is this correct for year (I have tried different spellings)?
If the 1911 census is correct, they married 1869/1870.
Thanks

I've also found some information on the 1911 census which I'm uncertain about - so if any GR experts could help clarify that would be fantastic.

1911 census
Emma Jane King - age 59 - Head - Widow - 14 children/9 living - monthly nurse - born; Bristol, Somerset
Katherine Sarah - age 34 - daughter - trained nurse - born; middlesex
Henry Donald - age 22 - son - butcher
Frank Leslie - age 20 - son - fish porter
Living: 231 Hornsey Road, Upper Holloway, Islington

Is this our Emma King? and
Who is Katherine Sarah who has all of a sudden appeared?
Is this our Henry and Frank as a Henry and Frank of same ages also appear on other 1911 census information (see below)?

1911 census
Frank King - age 19 - Private Royal Fusiliers
Henry King - age 21 - Private "F" COY, 2nd Bn. The Welch Regt

Hi
Any information prior to 1891 census gratefully received

George King - Born c1842 married to:
Emma (don't know maiden name) - Born c1852
Children: Amy-1874, George-1876, Charles-1879, Emma-1881, Celica-1883, Susan-1885-1949, Lilian-1888, Henry-1889, Frank-1891

The family have been identified on the census for 1891 and 1901 but haven't been able to find them on the 1881 or anything before then. It appears that they were in the Islington, London area most of their lives as they were all born in that area

Susan (1885-1949) is my Great Grandmother.

Many thanks,
Michelle
