Had a quick look on other censuses and there doesn't seem to be any Emma Smarts born Pimlico 1854 +/- 2 years. There are a few choices for Emma Smarts born Middlesex c1854, so best bet is probably to get the marriage certificate to make sure you get the right Emma -

eg; 1861 census
Emma b. c1852 St Georges East, dau of John and Emma, living in Bethnal Green

Emma b. c1852 St George Hanover Square, dau of George and Harriet, living in  St George Hanover Square

Emma b. c1854 London Middlesex, dau of William and Maria, living in Westminster St Martin in the Fields

Emma L Smart b. c1855 St Luke Middlesex, dau of Thomas L and Louisa S, living in St Lukes Middlesex

Theres also one or two more possible Emmas in 1871 census.....  :-\

  i have checked again and in the 1881 census John Winter is married to Emma born in1854 in Pimslo that is all i know for sure
Title: Re: john and emma (smart)
Post by: PaulineJ on Sunday 03 June 07 23:45 BST (UK)
I think that you need to review your evidence.

you state :

John & emma's first child b 1844.
Next post Emma was born 1854???
and where did the surname Smart come from?
 You say your only evidence is the 1881 census...

 my mistake again johns brother was born in 1844.

  john was born in 1853 amd emma born in 1854
  their children were---
        Matilda b1875
        Lizzie (elizabeth) b1877
         Walter b1879
         Ada b1880

   in 1881 they live in 8 Horseferry road
                                 St John Westminster
   in 1891 they are in the Belgrave area

 in 71 john is still at home with his parents William and Matilda
    hope this helps

Do you have 1901 census? I see John is a widower.....could this be Emma's death registration?

Title: Re: john and emma (smart)
Post by: marhat on Monday 04 June 07 17:46 BST (UK)

 no i dont have 1901 and yes that looks as if it is her death, if only i could find out who her parents were
Title: Re: john and emma (smart)
Post by: CatOne on Monday 04 June 07 17:51 BST (UK)
You may have to send off for one of their children's birth certificates to get her maiden name if you cant find her marriage to John.

Back in a sec with 1901

IF that is the case, then John Winter would appear to be on the wrong page, and this has been a wild goose chase....

Five names, two men two women. + 'spare' John Winter.
I've checked the transcription of the other names.

John Winter appears on P467 not P457 and there's no matching spouse named Emma.

  To go back to the begining. the daughter born in 1880 is Ada  she is my husbands grandmother and on her marrage cert it says  that her father was John. She got married in1915 i went back to the 1881 census ahd the only Ada Winter born in 1880 with a father John was with a mother Emma. That is all i have to go on. On the cert it says that John was a painter 
Title: Re: john and emma (smart)
Post by: PaulineJ on Monday 04 June 07 19:20 BST (UK)

That John Winter (1881 census) is an Iron moulder not a painter.

Will you give us FULL details from that 1915 certificate and we can suggest how to proceed on that basis.

Post by: CatOne on Monday 04 June 07 21:22 BST (UK)
There is another John Winter, house painter, on 1891 census (and 1901 with a different wife), although his daughter Ada is aged 9 in 1891, giving birth year of c1882. Heres 1891 and 1901, just so you can compare -

1891 RG12/468 Folio 83 Page 29
33 Nutbrook Street, Camberwell, London

John Winter 32 House Painter Hastings Sussex
Emma S 35 Hastings Sussex
Ada 9 Battersea
Lillian 8 Battersea
May 5 Battersea
Daisy 3 Peckham
Rose 8mo Peckham

1901 RG13/500 Folio 13 Page 13
33 Nutbrook Street, Camberwell, London

John Winter 44 House Painter Sussex St Leonards
Philadelphia 46 Sussex St Leonards
Daisy 13 Dulwich London
Rosie 10 Dulwich London
Agnes Bailey niece 25 Dyers Un.....ker Hastings Sussex
John Bailey nephew 21 Carpet Porter London Pimlico
Frederick Bailey nephew 16 Packer .... Bloomsbury
Edith Bailey niece 8 Dulwich

For 1881 see RG11/639 Folio 99 Page 47 (John and Emma S) (Is this the one you found?)

Your husbands grandmother, Ada, what is her married name/the name her death would be registered under? If you can find the registration of her death, won't it have her date of birth on it? From this you should be able to order her birth certificate, although it will be dearer than the normal £7  (used to be about £4 extra) unless the GRO reference can be found.

  the Marriage of Ada Winter and Alfred Hathaway Took place in Birmingham on 25/5/1915.
 Alfred was 44 years old Ada was 35 years old He was a cycle fitter and she was a Domestic Servant they both lived at 3 Slone Street Birmingham.
 Alfreds father was George Hathaway (deceased) and Ada`s  father was John Winter i dont know if it says Printer or Painter  that was in 1915
 is this of any use
Title: Re: john and emma (smart)

Well, it's getting there. You could still have given the witness names (who could be related to the bride/groom).  Put an image of the certificate into the common room if you cannot read the father's occupation.

Other tracks to explore could be electoral rolls (although they may not exist for the war years), and maybe telephone directories...

At the moment we dont know for sure whether the families above are the correct ones. I think the only way to be 100% sure is to get Ada's birth certificate.

Do you know roughly when she died? Hopefully her age on the certificate will narrow down the years to search, or even give her actual date of birth. We can search the indexes if you have a rough year of death to work from, Hathaway shouldn't be too common a name hopefully!

Title: Re: John WINTER/Emma SMART?
Post by: marhat on Tuesday 05 June 07 14:07 BST (UK)
 i dont know where Ada was born.
 the witness at Ada and Alfreds wedding were Alfreds Brother and his wife, William and Hope Elizabeth Hathaway.
   As far as we know Ada died in 1934 and she was born in June 1880.
  They were married in the Register office in Birmingham

when i started this search on the family tree i thought Hathaway was not common either but you must be kidding there were 100s of them
Title: Re: John WINTER/Emma SMART?
Post by: PaulineJ on Tuesday 05 June 07 14:14 BST (UK)

Are you looking at Jan qtr 1934 for ada? (age 66) Sutton Coldfield?
That doesn't match for any age at census/marriage so far...

Title: Re: John WINTER/Emma SMART?
Post by: marhat on Tuesday 05 June 07 16:43 BST (UK)

 no it is 3rd Q Birmingham (1934) and as far as we know Alfred died 3rd Q 1929 Birmingham
Title: Re: John WINTER/Emma SMART?
Post by: CatOne on Tuesday 05 June 07 17:05 BST (UK)
There are two Ada Winter's born June quarter 1880 -

Bridlington Vol 9d Page 345

St George Hanover Square Vol 1a Page 471

Does her age on her marriage certificate confirm a birth year of c1880? (I see the age at her time of death does, if thats the correct one)



Title: Re: John WINTER/Emma SMART?
Post by: marhat on Tuesday 05 June 07 19:17 BST (UK)
 yes in the marriage cert of 1915 (may 25)
 Ada is 35 that says she was born in 1880, but it doesn`t say where


  Catone does the other Ada born in Bridlington have a father named John
Title: Re: John WINTER/Emma SMART?
Post by: CatOne on Wednesday 06 June 07 07:53 BST (UK)
Have checked 1881/91 censuses and can't find an Ada Winter born Bridlington, but there is one born Beverley on one census, North Cave on the other, living with parents James and Mary Ann/Annie, so if this is the correct Ada, it would seem to rule her out.

It isn't going to be possible from census in this case.
You will need to purchase birth certificate(s) of Ada Winter until you find the correct one.
