Hi, The 1881 census image I have found says that Catherine was called WILLIAMS born in 1872 Sudbury, Buckinghamshire and living in Saddleworth Yorkshire. Is this correct. ? Joan

Edward Willmore was born c1843 in Padbury, in Sep qtr 1868 he married Rebecca Gibbard, they has 3 children Catherine b1870, Eliza b1872 d1873 and Susannah b1874 d 1874, their mother Rebecca also died in 1874 I can only presume as a result of childbirth. In 1871 in Padbury there is Edward, his wife Rebecca and Catherine. Also in 1874 in Padbury Edward married Susannah Mills ( he didnt waste any time ) And in 1881 they were in Saddleworth

On the 1881 there is Emily, who I think is the daughter of Susannah from her previous marriage, although her name is down as Willlmore I think she iis Mills, but I cannot find Susannah Mills in the 1871 before she married Edward, she would have had Emily with her

As Rebecca b1890 is my great grandmother, I have just ordered her birth cert. Although I expect it will show her mother as being Catherine Johnson, and father as William Johnson.
