This is bit of a wild card - but I wonder if anyone out there can help. I have just discovered my husband's great grandfather Joseph Carter ALMEY married Emma (or Emily) Elizabeth UFFINDELL in Hull, Yorkshire in 1881. Their marriage certificate names Isaiah UFFINDELL (deceased) as her father. I can find no trace of him at all. And have very limited information of Emma Elizabeth UFFINDELL, apart from that she was born 1854 (where?) and that at the time of the 1891/1901 censuses, she was living in Hull. I have found no connection with Cambridgeshire, but am posting here as I have found a number of UFFINDELLs here. But are any related? Can anyone help?

Dear Gill, I do see the problem! I can't find Emma/Emily Uffindell on the birth certificates index from April 1853 to December 1854, by any obvious spelling. There is an Emily born in 1851, but her father was Edward, from Cambridge, and like you, I can't find an Isaiah anywhere. I have a few ancestors who arrived by spaceship just before their marriages - I suspect your Emily is another. Estelle
