Just for reference, this is the 1901 entry:

Emma Garnham Head M 50 Laundress Ipswich
Annie Do Daur S 24 " "
Elizabeth Do Daur S 15 Rag Sorter "
Susan Crickmore D-in-Law Wid 48 Sack Maker "
Walter Garnham Son 4 "
Alice Do Daur 8 mo "

And this is Emma in 1881 (surname transcribed as Gainham on ancestry):
Ezra Garnham Head Mar 25 Builder's Lab Chelmondiston Suffolk
Emma Do Wife Mar 30 Ipswich Do
Annie Do Daur 4 Do Do
Walter V Do Son 1 Do Do
Edward Smith Boarder Unm 33 Railway Lab Saxmundham Do

Hmm, then in 1891 part of the family is in Woodstone, Huntingdonshire:
Ezra Garnham Head M 35 Railway Labourer Suffolk Cheslmindston (sic)
Walter Do Son 12 Scholar " Ipswich
Louisa Do Daur 10 do do
Ethel Do Daur 7 Do Do
Mary Ann Farrow Housekeeper 44 Dom " Rendlesham
Allen Do Lodger 18 Labourer General " Ipswich

Not found Emma, Annie and Elizabeth yet.

This looks like Ezra and Emma's marriage, from FreeBMD:
Marriages Mar 1876
Bond Emma Maria Ipswich 4a 767
GARNHAM Ezra Ipswich 4a 767
Mouser James Ipswich 4a 767
Mudd Harriett Ipswich 4a 767

And there is an Emma M Garnham death in Ipswich in Apr-Jun 1940, age 89, but that still doesn't help sort out how she was related to Susan!

Sooo... if those 2 youngest children in 1901 (Walter and Alice) are Emma's, then it could be that Susan's father was Emma's, er, partner, or if they are Susan's children, then their father could be Emma's son?

Alice May F Garnham birth reg Ipswich Jul-Sep 1900
Walter Valentine Garnham birth reg Ipswich Jan-Mar 1897.

I can't see another index entry for either of them with another surname, but it looks as if Ezra and Emma's son Walter V who was born in 1880 was also Walter Valentine Garnham, and it seems a bit unlikely to me that Emma would have two sons with that name if the first one didn't die young, and there is a marriage for him (i.e. Walter Valentine Garnham I) in 1899 in Peterborough district (where he was living in 1891), but not to Susan, either to Alice Maud Jenkinson or Florence Jane Rolph. :confused:

So are those two children actually Emma's grandchildren but nothing to do with Susan?

In 1901 at Water End, Woodstone, Northamptonshire:
Walter Garnham Head M 21 Brickyard Labourer Suffolk Ipswich
Alice Do Wife M 20 Lincoln Tullington

Doesn't really help.

I can see Walter Garnham age 14 and Alice May Garnham age 9 in Ipswich in the 1911 census but haven't worked out who they're with yet (they don't seem to be with each other?)

Hi Kate,

Thank you for all the hard work you've put into this. I feel really guilty as you've confirmed what I have found. I didn't want to steer people in the direction I have been as I was hoping someone would find something new but I had intended to keep an eye on the thread. I haven't found the GARNHAMs in 1911 as I'd given up on trying to understand this years ago.

The CRICKMORE line is really annoying. I was hoping to find the GARNHAMs somehow connected to Martha GARDNER who was present at the death of Susan's husband William. I'll start a new thread on Research rather than add here. Thanks again for trying.
