Hello listers,
Well, here goes.....can anybody help me please.....
First of all, known info for my great-grandmother, and then the problematic
areas will follow !!!!!
EMMA ELIZABETH CARTWRIGHT - or was she Elizabeth or Emily? She was always
known as 'Em' by the family.
Died/buried 7th May 1931
Great-grandfather met her in Wales on holiday - she was WELSH.
Great-grandfather ARTHUR WAKELAM married EMMA ELIZABETH CARTWRIGHT 28.09.1903
Birmingham St. Philips.
Marriage Cert -
Age at marriage - 24
Parents did not attend wedding.
Emma's Father's name on cert GEORGE
Emma's Father's residence - 85 Newhall St, Birmingham (actually residence of
WAKELAM's)
Emma's Father's Occupation - Pottery Art Moulder
Witnesses - these were Wakelams.
Now I found this the other day, which caught my eye, as you can imagine......

Church Gresley marriages
Derbyshire (Church Greasley)
Ref 461
6th November 1865
George Cartwright (bachelor, potter, age 21, Swadlincote, father William
Cartwright potter dc'd)
Martha Harrison (spinster, age 20, Ch. Greasley, father Thomas Harrison dc'd)
Witnesses William Harrison Gordan and Emma Cartwright
Note this could be Emma's father - George and he is a potter, also note the
name of (we can assume?) his sister. I found both George and Emma on the IGI
births and George's marriage to Martha in same place. Church Greasley 1851
Census also shows Emma and George.
Then I was kindly sent this by someone
