Hi PJM, many thanks for this info.

Yes I saw that and made me question if it was the right one.

Hi MWS that seems conclusive to me with Reuben and Emma on there together with siblings that all match.

Hi both, I'm more confused now than when I started. There seems to be a number of Emma Green's all born or baptised around 1842.

I'm even more confused now than when I started. However, I think Emma's parents are James Green and Mary Ann from Birmingham. Thank you both so much for your interest and information.

One question, how do you know that James and Mary came from Suffolk?

The highlighter was me.

That’s great many thanks,,so at last I have the right one.

Hi both, This is the only record I can find with the right dats but it is James Green and MARY ANN not MANN is this the right one?

Hi PJM, Thank you for joining in what is turning out to be quite a journey today for me. So, if you are both correct, it means I have the wrong Emma. I attach her birth certificate for your interest anyway which shows a registration in February 1841.

Well, I’ve checked the marriage certificate and both George and Emma have the age of 21 so if you take 21 away from the date on the certificate it comes out at 1841 which is the date Emma was born so it works for me. What I cannot work out is the mention of Ruben on the census?

Many thanks Brummy - Lad, great photo & map.

Blimey now I am confused!

I mamy thanks for the info. I do have a copy of Emma Green’s birth certificate and it shows her mother as Eliza Grove not Mary Mann. ?

Hi MWS, that is really interesting. My grandfather was William. Do you have the newspaper clip? It’s starting to look like they were a right old family, moving all the time and being on the wrong side of the law.

Much appreciated, MWS, I was wondering about George’s middle name and sent off for a copy of his birth certificate. Also that’s interesting about Mary being born out of wedlock. I have a record of him being in the workhouse in 1864 and his trade listed as gunmaker also labourer. He had a hard...

Hi All, Does anyone have any info or photo's of my Great Grandfather George Derrington. He married Emma Green , He died in 1900. 1871 census shows he was living with Emma Green in no. 5 back of 182 Great Russell St. with 7 children.

Hi Richard, I don’t recall the name and I was only on the typewriters. It was a good time in my life even though I was only on £3.3s .0d a week and gave me my sense of independence earning a weekly wage.

Hi Richard, if you come across the photo of the yellow mini van, please post it here, it would complete my memories of a bygone time.

Hi Richard, I am absolutely amazed. I worked for this family for 6 years and never had an inkling as to such history. Thank you so much for sharing it.
