Thanks Andrew, that would seem to be her in both the above records. That was probably one of the only possible mis-spelling of her name I hadn't tried & when I think about it it's the most obvious one.

At least I know I'm on the right track, it's just a matter of establishing which is the 'right' name now.
Wonder if her marriage is even legal when she married as Strickland?

Thanks again!
Hayley

Ok, going to have to finally admit defeat & beg for help.

I'm looking for Emma Mary A. Strickland, born c.1866, possibly in Portsmouth.
I know she married Albert Edward Scarlett Dec 1884 in Portsmouth and I have located her in the 1881 census also in Portsmouth.
In 1881 she was living with Henry & Emma Strickland, (her parents?), at 151 Malins Rd, Portsmouth. Emma Jnr was 15 & working as a dressmaker.
From IGI her father Henry is described as an ANNUIANT - does anyone know what that is? Is it something I can check a trade directory for?
I cannot find a record of Emma's birth or christening and cannot find her or her parents on earlier census'

All help gratefully accepted.

Thanks!
Hayley
