Title: 1851 look up req for Emma Parker
Post by: desels on Monday 09 May 05 17:19 BST (UK)
Hi all,

 I have an Emma Sims in my research who I am trying to track down. I have her in the 1861 census, in Warminster, but I believe this to be her second marriage. Would some kind soul check to see if there was an Emma Parker living in Warminster in 1851. By the way I believe she was born c 1833 also in Warminster.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry Desels. I can see no Emma Parker in Warminster in 1851. There are quite a few Parkers in the parish but no Emma. Is this her maiden name. Did she always use the name Emma? Can you tell me anything on her family?       Kris  :'(

Hi Kris,

Thanks for looking. All the info I have is post 1851. On the 1861 census she is shown as Emma Sims ,married to William with three daughters, the eldest two,  Emily and Elizabeth have their surname recorded as Parker. They were born in 1853 and 1855 in Warminster. The third daughter, Sarah born in 1858, also in Warminster, is my wife's Great Great grandmother, hence the interest.

I am assuming Parker is Emma's married name because of her two daughters carrying that name.

That's all I have.

Hi Jill,

Thanks for the info, the age is right, so it could well be her.
