Emily Jane Colvill

[theslider1000]

Emily Jane Colvill was my Great Grandmother, born 1874 in Hull, she married Charles harvey of Driffield East Yorkshire (his Family Moved ther from essex) in Devonport in 1899, I note a old post from a SUEH2 in 2007 was also looking for information on Emily, just wondered if she is still looking for info, as  I am also trying to find details of her parents, as on Emily and Charles Marriage certificate only her father's name is shown,John Colvill.
Emily had a sister Nora who lived in Torquay until she died in 1970.
Emily died in 1970 as well in Hull, she had two children Alice (my Grandma) and Charles, her husband Charles died in 1928.

If anyone else can help me in my search into Emily's family it would be of immense help, or tracing relatives I did not know I had.

Welcome!

Have you tried applying for a birth certificate for her?

Hi and welcome

Have you tried applying for a birth certificate for her?

If you check freebmd/Yorksbmd - there is no birth reg

Hi

Was Nora younger or older that Emily?  Was Nora a shortened version of her real name?  Who did Nora marry and when

Yeah I was just searching now and I can't find a birth for Alice or Emily but the registry office can do a search within a 10 yr period for a small fee which might be worth it to confirm the details are correct.

I will keep looking too though as there might be a variation of spelling /transcribing that hasn't been found yet.

Thanks for your help, i will try the registry office and see if they can help, i do have my Grandma Alice's birth details, so that part is not a problem.

Nora was 85 when she died in 1985,So she was younger than Emily who was 96 when she died also in 1970. her middle name was grace, she had no children though.

Have you read through the topics I have linked you to above? There is a lot of research in them and maybe one of them can help with clues as it looks like a conclusion was never reached.

I will keep looking for you though

I notice that Emily's birthplace is never mentioned - mainly because she cannot be found on the 1901 or 1911 censuses or on anything prior to marriage

Where did you get Hull from as her birthplace?

Where did you get the info from re: her sister Nora?
