Could anyone use a rare combination of wildcards to find this Emma in 1901? She died in 1913, when her name was spelt Goins, I think her birth record is spelt Goynes, so absolutely any combination is possibly, and then possibly mistranscribed too!

The property in 1891 is a grocer's shop at 72-74 Disraeli Street, Putney, but this appears to have reverted back to 2 separate dwellings in my understanding of the 1901 census.
I have ordered her death certificate, but at the moment, I don't have her address at death, only that it was registered in Wandsworth, so she is likely to be still in Wandsworth/Putney unless she had gone visiting friends/family anywhere else on census night.


Many thanks for any suggestions, I've tried on ancestry all sorts of Emma's born in Liskeard.. to no avail.

Claire, I think that must be her, although I can't find the place she is supposed to have come from, in Cornwall.

Very many thanks!

It's probably Trevelmond, just west of Liskeard.
