Do you not have any birth certificates to confirm parents names?
If you don't, it would be a good idea to order at least one as that would give you parents names including mothers maiden name.

You said at the very beginning that your grandmother Emma Jane was born in London -but there is an Emma Jane Sartain b Jun Q 1902 in Portsmouth -her grandmother Amelia was also born there per 1891 census above so is this not a possibility?
