Hi All,
I need help please.

I have been looking for some time now for my Great Aunt Emma Elligett she was born 1868 Guildford surrey,

she married Edwin Thomas Willoughby in St Olave in 1892
She is listed as Emma Frances Elligett. I do have both Her birth and Marrage Cirt.

What I am having trouble with is finding her and Edwin in any census, I have tried all spelling for there names but no luck.
I have also now looked on 1911 and still I can't find them.

I have found a Death in 1911 Sept Qt for a Emma F Willoughby in Barnet she is aged 41 so this could well be her.
I have sent off for the death cirt.

Why is I can't find them between 1891 and 1911 do you think?

Any help greatfully appreciated.

Kind regards
Diane

Thanks for the tip but I have trIed that in all ways, first name only last name only middle name only year of birth only, from her to him and back again but still no luck.

With out finding them I have no way of knowing if there was any children.

This might be Edwin's death as the age tallies with the 1891 census

Deaths Jun 1920 (>99%)
WILLOUGHBY Edwin 82 Poplar 1c 453

Have just looked at the other census & this it seems is Edwin's Dad Edwin

He was a Painter,

I did wonder if they had gone off somewhere, but I am sure her death is the one I found in 1911.

so I was hoping to find her in the 1911 census as she never died untill the 3qt but no, not there.
