	I've started doing some research for my moms neighbour and hit a bit of a problem. George Henry Coates was born 1872. His birth cert has his Father as Thomas mother as Emma Blocksidge. I have the family on the cenuses but can not find a marriage for Thomas to Emma or a birth for Emma nor Emma on the census. They were all born West Bromwich area of Staffordshire

	Don't think that's her birth. The other censuses make her older than that. She's born c1843 in 1871. c1839 in 1891 c1840 in 1901. Rose

	bhfab39, The 1875 date only applies to births. A registrar would have officiated for any marriages. Rose

	Linda, I think she's older than she admits. I think she was born c1835. It ties in with her last child being born when she was 42 in 1877. Rose
