Hayling Island - Emily Elizabeth Rustell

[mckha489]

Thanks to everyone. To answer questions, marriage certificate shows Emily Elizabeth Rustell, father George Rustell - labourer, married George Bettesworth. Witnesses James North and Sarah Ann Bettesworth - stepbrother and sister of the groom.
Eldest daughter born in Emsworth - probably registered there because the family lived on Hayling Island which is quite near Emsworth and this (Hayling) is where the daughter was christened.
'Emily' marries Geo. Buttesworth - this should be George Bettesworth (my grandfather) they married on 21 October 1876 (have marriage certificate with Emily Elizabeth as bride's name. With regards to Amelia in 1891 this could be Emily's second daughter.
I think the assumption that Amelia and Emma swapped names could be correct but it needs more research. What I'd really like is to find her grave, or details of her burial but the information doesn't seem to be on FindAGrave or Billion Graves. Thanks for all your help. Onwards and upwards. I'll get there eventually as there's two or three of us researching this.

Burial register for South  Haying is on FindMyPast.

This was the 1891 I was referring to

Thanks, I have looked in the Hampshire Burials and can't find any reference to Emily or her husband George. With reference to the 1891 census. Although it says Amelia, George's wife is called Emily Elizabeth in every other census, plus on her marriage and death certificate. Their daughter Amelia who would be 13 years old in 1891, does not appear in their family on the 1891 census. She definitely survived as when her mother died and her father George remarried, the younger children were divided between the father and his new wife, and the older sisters. Amelia ended up with two young sisters in the 1901 census. By this time she was married.

It’s in the Portsmouth set.

Thanks to everyone for your input. Still can't find Emily's birth but it looks like Emily might be Amelia who swapped with Emma. With reply to Forguette, I can't get the birth certificates as I can't find the index numbers I need to get them. If you're right and the sisters swapped, then Amelia took years off her age as the marriage certificate states 19 years and this keeps pace through all the census records.

Also mckha489, thanks for the link to the burials. I already have the death certificate of Emily Elizabeth but it doesn't say anything about her birth date. I thought if I could get someone to look at the gravestone it might give the birth details. I have contact the Hampshire Genealogy Society in the hope someone there will be able to help. With regards to the Emsworth birth George was working in Emsworth when he married Emily. Marriage certificate states both bride and groom's fathers were labourers. Hopefully the replies from all you nice people will help with my research. Thank you so much.
