Hi, if anyone can look these up I would eternally grateful. I don't have enough time to take this up as a hobby at the moment unfortunately. But I'm trying to help my mum with a couple of bits here and there as she doesn't have internet access.
I would love copies of the pages relating to
1901 census
Emma Matthews
Born 1877 so around 23/24 years of age
Born in Great Cressingham Norfolk
Married in Hampstead Heath in Nov 1901 and was murdered by her husband in Dec1901.
Basically we are hoping for the census info to find out more about what Emma was doing with her life that year as the last record we have of her is from the 1891 census at age 14. I would like to print it out for my mum to keep in her records with everything else.
Thank you very much in advance to anyone who may have time/inclination to help us. :)

Oooo I don't know. Is there any others? The age is wrong but could they have given it wrong or written it wrong? She definitely was 1877 so could only have been 23/24 depending on which month her birthday was.(before or after march when census was done)
Is East Dereham given as place of birth? Cos her birth certificate said Great Cressingham. As did earlier census.
:-\
(thank you for helping :))

Her death entry (at least I'm inferring that this is her) gives her age at death as 24:
Death Dec qtr 1901
Emma PATEMAN aged 24
Hampstead 1a 463
Marriage Dec qtr 1901
Emma MATTHEWS
William PATEMAN
on same page, Hampstead 1a 1409

P.S. Sad story - do you know any more about the murder?

Yes Willow on here kindly sent me a newspaper article she found and the husband murdered her 6 weeks after they married, seems he had a few mental issues and he shot her then himself on Hampstead Heath. Very sad indeed.

you could send for the marr cert it should tell you where she was living at the time of the marriage and also her occupation
if that tallies up with the 1901 census entry then you will know for certain that it is her
