I see Emily Ricketts and Emily Gay are both registered Jul-Sep 1868 St. Saviour Vol. 1d Page 8

I'm guessing this means the parents weren't married so registered her under both names.

Thanks Christina - that sounds really promising and makes sense with regards to the two names of Gay and Ricketts

Hi was the mother's name Emily Gay on the three oldest children?

Hi Val

Yes on the 1st three children she put it down as Gay, on the 8th child she put maiden name as Ricketts so we have now req'd the certificate for the 7th child

This 1861 census may be unconnected, but it DID say on Emily's marriage certificate that her father was Robert, a bricklayer:

Hi Marie

It sounds promising - I will have a look, I might request the certficates as mentioned by Christina to try and clarify some bits - it does get confusing
