Trying to piece together Emily's (My great Grandmother) family.
It looks like her father was David Holroyd and her mother possibly Elizabeth Robinson cannot find any information about them.

Also William Burt (b1863) parents were possibly  George Burt and Elizabeth Foster but again cannot seem to find much out

Emily & William married March qtr 1884 as per freebmd and it looks as though Mary Ann was Emily's child before her marriage

Births March qtr 1883 
Mary Ann Holroyd    Tynemouth  10b 252

Finally found them in 1871 in Chirton - transcribed as Holdzzd - image is Holdroyd

David Holroyd 40 mariner b Thornton Yorks
Elizabeth   35 b Benton Sq
Emily  4 b Cable Dean N Shields
Elizabeth 1  ditto
RG10 Piece 5115 Folio 6 Page 5

The 1861 shows them in Chirton but with an 11month old daughter Elizabeth Ann b North Shields  RG 9 Piece 3838 Folio 79 Page 45.  David was 30 b Bradford and Elizabeth 25 b Benton Square Northumberland

Whether Elizabeth was nee Robinson I don't know as the marriage between David Holroyd and Elizabeth Robinson was in 1853 in Huddersfield

Here's her birth reg which will enable you to check mothers maiden name

Emily Holdroyd March qtr 1867  Tynemouth 10b  154
