Hi and welcome to Rootschat

The 1871 census has a 19yr old Emma Beckley working as a waiter in South Worcs and shown as born Worcs.  No other in Worcs

The 1881 only has one Andrew Beckley aged 10 but b Fyfield Berks and was in the Berkshire Workhouse.  There was also a 1mth old Ada Maude Beckley in the same WH plus an Emma Beckley aged 28.  However - Emma is shown as b Tubney? Berkshire and is a widow

The children are not shown as with her on the census return

I have found out the self same information and believe that Emma Beckley is the one bc.1853 Tubney, dau. of David.

By 1881 David has remarried.

I don't believe the 'Worcester' birthplace given for Emma in 1871.   I haven't checked the other names in that household but since they were mainly either servant/lodgers I find it extremely odd that all of them are shown as born Worcester!!   A lazy enumerator methinks (or lazy head of household).

Seems a pretty good bet that Andrew's father was a Mr. Phillips!!

So what happened to Emma Beckley after 1881?

Ada Maude Beckley died in 1881.  There is an unmarried Emma Beckley b Tubney on the 1891 but age looks like 58 so birthyear transcribed as 1833.  No children with her

EDIT - ignore - she is on the 1881

Don't think that is her, CaroleW - definitely says 58 but there was a unmarried Emma Beckley born circa 1835 Tubney in 1881 and I think the 1891 entry is her.

I thought the same in regards to somehow Phillips being a family name somewhere as its unusual to have that as a middle name with the S, when i first started researching i thought that the S was a typo online, but it is there on his birth certificate.

Do you not think i should pay much attention to Emma's place of birth then on that census?
I did find one Emma Beckley b.1851 in west bromwich on the birmingham bmi website
