1891-1901

[Finch]

Can anybody please help me find a FREDERICK WEBSTER MERRISON born about 1868 in Norfolk. He may be married to an EMMELINE born about 1869 in Northrepps.

Hi Joan

I can't see them in 1891 at the moment, but there is a Frederick W Merrison b. 1864 Brandon, on board HMS Terror in Bermuda in 1901;  he is a colour sergeant in the RMLI

He says married - but I can't see an Emmeline just now

Might this be him?

Hi Mum44,
Yes, its very possible that its him, I found a marriage for an EMMELINE FOX to a FREDERICK WEBSTER MERRISON and I was trying to verify that was the correct Emmeline that I am researching. Looks like I might have to wait till 1911 for that one. Thanks so much for looking for me. Regards, Joan

Hi Joan

There is an Emmelina Fox born 1870 Northrepps on the 1881 census with her parents, George and Maria


An Emmelina Fox born 1870 Northrepps, unmarried, appears on the 1891  census
and the marriage you found took place in 1887, I think

Just saw the above posting 

2 Emmelina Fox's

Well, the one Sue found, with a daughter born in Walmer, would fit with a husband in the RMLI, who were based at Chatham.  And if he were away at sea, her living with her parents would also be usual.

But this one seems too old?

['Tricia]

I can't link the married Emmelina to her parents Henry and Dinah on previous census at the moment.

They are on the 1881 but she isn't with them

Right


Emmelina born 1861 is with parents Henry and Dinah on the 1871 so I think Joan has picked up the wrong Emmelina and she isn't the one born 1869 Northrepps
