So Walter and James Williams are Emma's sons, Sue?

[Margaret in Burton]

Are you saying that she didn't marry and her children were illegitimate or that you don't know the name of her husband?

Elizabeth

James is definitely Emma's son. He is my mother-in-law's grandfather and I have his birth certificate. She doesn't remember Walter, but I assume (dangerous I know!) that he is Emma's as well. Both boys lived with their grandparents (Emma's parents) until James married. Not sure when Walter moved out though without checking, which I'll do later as I don't have them here right now.

Marg

I don't know whether Emma ever married, but certainly there is no father listed on James' birth certificate.

The trouble is it's such a common name and, although the family lived in the Wardington area until James moved to nearby Culworth, Northamptonshire, I have no way of knowing if Emma moved away to marry.

Have you found her father in 1851? I can't see him.

It's ok I've found him in 1851 HO107 piece 1734 folio 217 page 3
