well thats great info .....I didnt know that .....i think her moms age is wrong though....24 ....meaning she would have been 8 when she gave birth to Ellen......it was prob 42 not 24... chhers for getting me this ....ill print it all off. x
On the 1901 census EMMA 36 is I presume the wife of George Field. Note not Ellen.
1881 Census William Ray aged 49 - Caroline aged 24 - I presume she is his second wife, the children Ellen 16, Alfred 13 and Henry 11 could be the children of his first marriage.
