Mel,
On the 1861 census with Christiana aged 3, that Emma (age 1) is a daughter of the family, sister presumably to Christiana.

On the 1891 census with Joseph and Christiana, Emma Race is a step-daughter. Presumably this Emma is a daughter of an unmarried Christiana. If Joseph was the father, presumable they would have her down with Harrison as her surname.

Choccy on that last one you posted is Emma Race who is down as Step Dau or something on one of the other posts.

It's all a bit 'snap' at the moment.

Was Christiana married to a Race, or born a Race do you think? He didn't waste much time re-marrying.

I think (?) this is Joseph in 1891, but his wife is now Christiana.

Emma Race, who is with them, is said to be a step-daughter(?)
