Emma Oxley

[kerryanne]

I have an Emma Oxley in my family tree , all i know about her is she was born on the 10 august 1884 and is British born , she married in 1903 to Charles Pataky
does anybody else have this lady in their family tree or know anything about her or her family. Emma was my great grandmother

if you know her birth date, then you should be able to correlate a birth in the gro indexes.
That will show where to look for her in census and may reveal parentage & siblings.

This IS something that you can do yourself. (The GRO bit)

I'm looking for other relatives and stories about her. Of course I'm looking at the free BDM page but I haven't actually heard of the GRO indexes so thank you for that.

The GRO Indexes are what FreeBMD are transcribing!

   Free BMD gives marriage as 1907...

Hi Kerryanne

Glad you've found FreeBMD!  Then you will have found one entry for 1884:

Emma Oxley Huddersfield 9a 371 Dec Qtr 1884

I suggest you send for this certificate as it will give you Emma's parents and you can work backwards and sideways from that.

The marriage between Emma Oxley and Charles Arpad Pataky is 1907, not 1904:

Jun Qtr 1907 Pancras 1b 253

Do you have this certificate?  This will hopefully confirm Emma's father's name for the birth certificate.

Kind regards
Gaie
Tazzie, you beat me to it!!

   Hi Gaie....

  Do not think she was the Huddersfield one as an Emma Oxley marries there in 1908......

 There is one b 1883 Pancras  Emma Oxley...

 Here in 1901 .... RG13/145 F 140 P 84.

Thanks Tazzie!  I checked the birth date first as it seemed so precise, and then checked the marriage and as we know that date was wrong; I should have rechecked the birth on that basis..... that lazy Sunday feeling doesn't work on RC, does it 

Hope between us we've managed to point you in the right direction, Kerryanne 

Kind regards

tazzie and Gaie

Yes you have pointed me in the right direction  thank you both very much for your help it is appreciated .  I thought Emma  was born in London because she married there but with family history you can never be 100% sure
The date i have comes from the national archives as she became a female enemy alien when she married my great grandfather
i will send off for their marriage certificate this week
cheers Kerry
