A Emma Jakins born abt 1857 in Northamptonshire married a William Platts (can't find him anywhere) in 1880. They had a daughter Florence Ada Platts in 1883 in Leicester. By 1891 she is on the census as Flossie and living with her Grandparents, Emma Jakins parents in Leicester. I can not find Emma or William Platts on the 1881or 1891 census or a death record for either. Also I can not find William before he was married. Any help would be great. Thank you Vicky

Have to log off now. Will check any replies tomorrow. Thanks Vicky x

Thank you so much to everyone that helped. Sometimes you just need a fresh pair of eyes, these definitely look like the right people. I'm sorry to the people who helped on the thread on the record office, I didn't think to put more information on until afterwards. Thank you Vicky x
