Very difficult to tell about Emma's birth/parents,etc. since she never married.

Has anyone caught her in 1871?

George is with a BENTLEY family (Lewis and Hannah) in 1871 A*try as George SEALEY.
In 1881 he's George BENTLEY (still with Lewis and Hannah) Grange Farm Abbots Bromley.

Hannah BENTLEY dies March 15 1896-(on A*try Probate*) as of the Oaklands Bromley Hurst.

OK I am trying very hard to process all this ...... so I will read and then ask a question first one to Ray two posts back you have listed a census for 1901 is this really 1891 because of the ages and Hannah died 1896 There is a child listed here a Hannah Elizabeth aged 3 she seems to be missing off the 1901 census do we presume she has died bless her...... Maureen thank you for all the information where do the Bentleys come into the equation please ...did George move in with them sorry just trying hard to take it all in OK
  I will go back and look at the rest its very intriguing I remember a question about the farm I am on a farm it is wonderful to see they may have lived on a farm Going to reread and absorb Thank you EVERYBODY who has posted you really are the most wonderful bunch of people I am trying hard to grasp it ALL

[seelig]

  Thanks for your last post ray I will write that down and I see your census is 1891 sorry

  Caught! 

I'd spotted that I had incorrectly copied 2x refs and changed them.
Was gonna go public on the next post.

[ Nice to know that some people actually read what we write ]

Re The Bentleys

I have known a situation where a friend of mine was taken in by a farmer who treated the (unrelated) boy as his own.
Eventually, the old fellow died and left the farm to my pal [ and he is still there ]
 
If the the farm that the Bentleys are on turns out to be Oakland Farm . . . . .

In passing, there is a tree [ @ncesterry ] noting that Emma's father was a Joseph (b Germany).

I haven't spotted any proof, anyone?
