Hi Gwyn. yes that is the family but i am really trying to find Emily( junior) I have tried for so long i dont think it is ever going to happen thanks Dolly

Is this her birth?..... If so, I wonder if she is hiding behind one of her other names in a census. Births Dec 1869 Duke Emily Blanche A Marylebone 1a 458 Gwyn

Hi Gwyn. It looks as if you may have found her (bless you) thank you so much. Dolly

Could this be Emily in 1891:- Name: Emily Duke Age: 22 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1869 Relation: Servant Gender: Female Where born: Bermondsey, London, England Civil Parish: Putney Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary Town: Putney County/Island: London Country: England Street address: 40 Wester (?)

...So now we have to find out what happened to her? Gwyn

Hi Gwyn. One other thought although every thing points to this being the correct family i do have Emilys marriage certificate and she is only down as Emily no second or third initial is this possible. Dolly

Sorry only just got your last message yes do you think its possible to find her

I have people who married in their 1st given name, or both names, or only 2nd given name or with an additional 'invented' middle name....anything is possible. It is best to work back from facts. What is shown on the certificate for Emily's father's name and occupation? UPDATE Who did she marry...and what was his age and occupation? Gwyn

Hi Glyn. When Emily married her father George Duke (deceased)was a commercial clerk, she lived in Phoenix St St Giles London Married Frederick Rice (Printer) April 1898 Her age on certificate is 23yrs which is a little bit out but seeing i know someone who added 2yrs on when getting married that may run in the family many thanks for your time

sorry should have been Gwyn not Glyn

Hi Maureen My apoligise for delay in answering but my husband said he was dying of hunger so had to go and feed him. I really think you may have hit the nail on the head i know Flory and Emily were sisters i did think Emily was the eldest but she doesnt have to be St Giles is where Emily got married thank you so much i will follow information up with certificates regards Dolly

Hi Kath. apoigise for delay in answering it could well be my Emily as she was not married at 22yrs thank you so much every one has been so helpful and i am grateful Dolly x
