1841 lookup please - Emma Robertson

[Erica Rae]

Hi Daisypetal,

If I understand correctly, Emma was born c. 1835, her parents, Robert and Mary married the end 1836, Edward was born 1836 and then Mary died 1837?


How sad, they had a really hard life.

Hi,

Sorry if I've caused confusion


I think the Robert and Mary married in Tower Hamlets in 1836 are the couple found by suziq in 1841, and that they are not 'your' Robert and Mary. Of course I can't be sure about this


The death I gave you for Mary is just a possibility, at that time ages aren't given on the indexes so it's impossible to know more about her unless you bought the certificate.


Do you have any further info about Emma?

Hi Daisy,

The only other info I have is that she married William Walker on 5 April 1857 in St. Luke, Chelsea. They had 8 kids:

William b. 1858
Robert John b. 1859
Emma b. 1861
Edward b. 1863
George Frederick b. 1865
Mary b. 1867
Annie b. 1869
Clement Robertson b. 1877

I wonder where the children, Mary Ann and Robert disappeared to? Died?

They don't appear in the 1841 census with Emma and Edward. The death registration on FreeBMD in 1837 for Mary Ann Robertson could be for her or her Mother. Found a death registration on FreeBMD in 1837 for Robert Robertson in *ington......could be Kensington.....?
